For twenty years, we’ve covered sneaker culture from the front row. We’ve delivered breaking industry news, dropped first looks at the most anticipated drops, and documented every shift in the culture — and we’re not stopping anytime soon. But for a moment, we’re excited to step beyond the headlines and bring you our first-ever sneaker release.
Sneaker News is officially launching its first-ever sneaker, partnering with A BATHING APE® on the iconic BAPE STA. It’s a milestone we’ve been building toward, taking everything we’ve learned over the years, combining it with our New York City roots, and creating a shoe release built for the front page.
This project reflects the environment that shaped us. We looked to the visual language of 1990s outdoor gear and the nonstop rhythm of the concrete jungle, channeling that energy into a design that pushes the BAPE STA forward. At the center is a first-of-its-kind triple-stacked STA logo, a bold evolution of a silhouette we’ve long respected.
The story comes to life through two colorways: Day and Night. The white “Day” edition captures the movement and urgency of daylight hours, while the grey “Night” reflects the late grind of the city that never sleeps. Both pairs are finished with Sneaker News branding and Collector Club detailing, marking this moment in our journey.
The Sneaker News x BAPE STA will release May 6 via StockX, allowing our fans across the globe a shot at copping this high limited drop. Then, we’re bringing this to our home turf with an in-store release at the BAPE New York flagship on May 8th, and a Sneaker News x BAPE pop-up powered by StockX at 70 Hester St. in the Lower East Side on May 8th-9th.
This collaboration is highly limited; the white “Day” pair is limited to 1,386 pairs only, while the grey “Night” is far more exclusive with just 556 pairs globally. MSRP is set at $349.
