BAPE® ELEVATES STREETWEAR HERITAGE WITH THE ALL-NEW BAPE STA OS SHARK 

The Iconic Silhouette Returns for its Third Iteration, Fully Reimagined in High-Gloss Patent Leather 

A BATHING APE® (BAPE®) announces the highly anticipated drop of the BAPE STA OS SHARK since the debut of its newly updated silhouette. Merging the brand's historic military-inspired shark motifs with modern footwear architecture, this release delivers a powerful evolution of one of BAPE®’s most recognizable designs. 

This iteration departs from the traditional calf leather builds of previous releases, opting instead for a striking all-over patent leather construction. The high-gloss finish lending a modern luminosity to the entire upper, perfectly accentuating the layered shark teeth graphic patched across the side panels beneath the iconic STA logo. Grounded by a clean, solid midsole and finished with the classic "WGM" (World Gone Mad) graphic hidden as a unique twist on the insoles, the design effortlessly bridges archival streetwear heritage with a sharp, contemporary edge. 

The BAPE STA OS SHARK is set to release at EU.BAPE.COM this Saturday, July 11th, 2026.
