The Bapesta was born in 2000 under A Bathing Ape, amid controversy: it is said that NIGO designed and launched this sneaker after a project with Nike related to the Air Force 1 fell through. The silhouette is an obvious tribute to that model, featuring a perforated toe box and a similar sole and cupsole, replacing the Swoosh with the Bape Star. NIGO thus turned a sports sneaker into a cult piece within streetwear. The SK8 Sta Year of the Tiger brings that legacy to a limited commemorative edition.
The SK8 Sta is a skateboarding-focused reinterpretation of the Bapesta, retaining the features that define the silhouette: a perforated toe box, durable cupsole, and the Bape Star as its distinctive mark. The Year of the Tiger edition incorporates motifs associated with the Year of the Tiger, making this sneaker a commemorative piece with a strong character that is highly sought after by brand collectors.
