The A Bathing Ape Bape Sta France is a popular sneaker model by Japanese streetwear brand A Bathing Ape. It takes inspiration from Nike’s Air Force 1 silhouette but with distinctive design elements.
The shoes have a glossy upper made from patent leather and featuring a host of colors that make it immediately stand out. The upper has a white base complemented by blue overlays on the rear, and red overlays on the forefoot, creating a tricolors effect similar to that seen on the flag of the Republic of France. The midsole retains white, while the outsole is blue for a contrasting effect.
What we think stands out most on the A Bathing Ape Bape Sta France is the glossy finish on the upper, which gives the shoe a unique, eye-catching aesthetic, making it stand out regardless of the outfit. The shoes were initially released for retail on July 1, 2022, for $185.
