Posted on Oct 08, 2025 By Florencia Bessone

A Collector’s Essential Paying Tribute to 2000s Hip Hop Legacy

A BATHING APE® (BAPE®) proudly announces the highly anticipated return of the legendary BAPE STA™, reimagined for a new era while honoring its roots in street culture and the golden age of 2000s hip hop. The BAPE STA™ has long been synonymous with fearless expression, creativity, and the vibrant fusion of music and fashion. This latest release channels the spirit of an archival style, blending nostalgia with modern luxury through the use of embossed ostrich pattern calf— delivering a tactile, luxurious experience that recalls the exotic finishes of the era. Importantly, this relaunch uses premium calf leather only, not real ostrich, reflecting BAPE®’s commitment to responsible sourcing and forward-thinking design.
