Release Date: December 30
Price: TBC
Buy: Exclusively at Solebox
What We’re Saying: Following a teaser by GM Aljoscha Kondratiew, Solebox has shared detailed shots of and release information for its upcoming BAPE-STA collaboration. The sneaker takes a much more elevated and subtle approach than we’re used to from the Japanese streetwear brand. Instead of the characteristic patent leather and vivid colorways, Solebox’s BAPE-STA is decked out in muted gray suede, which features a subliminal ABC Camo pattern across the upper.
The design is a much more grown-up take on the iconic bootleg shoe, which is further underlined by the project’s Made in Italy status. In addition to using high-quality Italian leather and craftsman processes, the shoe also arrives in the OG BAPE-STA shape — something connoisseurs of the brand will no doubt appreciate.
Look for the Solebox x BAPE-STA to drop on December 30 exclusively at Solebox alongside an apparel capsule that comprises two co-branded hoodies and T-shirts.
