The A Bathing Ape Sk8 Sta #5 Black White Gray is an athletic shoe crafted from leather. White leather provides the base, accented by gray overlays at the heel and lace panel, and black overlays at the toebox. Bape branding appears on the tongue, rear, and midsole, accented by black star artwork on the sides. A white midsole and black outsole complete the aesthetic.
A Bathing Ape, also called BAPE, was founded in Ura-Harajuku in Japan in 1993, by Nigo, a member of Japanese hip-hop group Teriyaki Boyz.
