BAPE Goes Skating with the All-New FLIP STA Model

BAPE is ending the year with the release of their latest silhouette, the FLIP STA, proving exactly why the label remains a streetwear icon.

It’s been a great year for bape, with strong collaborations with adidas, Vans and XBOX – not forgetting the introduction of the Shark Sta model. And now, just before we swiftly exit 2024, the Japanese label has one more thing in-store – and spoiler alert – it’s chunky. Opting for a more skate-ified feel with a thick tongue and sole unit, the FLIP STA draws from street culture to create a sneaker that feels nostalgically modern. Let’s get into the details.

A Closer Look at the BAPE FLIP STA …

‘Black’ / ‘Grey’ / ‘Olive Dab’

Crafted with a premium combination of nubuck and calf leather, the FLIP STA is a premium delight. Pairing the sleek upper with a spongy mesh tongue, the silhouette seamlessly delivers a comfortable, breathable fit bringing a touch of texture to an already striking design. BAPE’s iconography unfolds via the bold TPU ape head on the heel, for an extra dash of the brand’s signature flavour.

As well as the solid upper construction, there’s more to admire when taking a look at the outsole. Inviting a unique detail, the BAPE STATM logo is embossed on the sole, providing a subtle yet defining feature that sets it apart from the pack. While it channels skateboarding culture at its core, this sneaker is alllllllll about versatility. A no-brainer option for style and comfort.
