Product Information

Full details

The A BATHING APE Logo Sports Shoes are designed for adults seeking stylish, comfortable footwear for urban environments. Their primary benefit is the combination of a premium patent leather finish with signature A BATHING APE design elements, offering both a refined aesthetic and everyday wearability. A potential caveat is the glossy patent leather, which may require specific care to maintain its appearance. Key features include a durable rubber sole, comfort-oriented geometry, and the distinctive black star motif with a lightning tail.

FAQs

What material are the A BATHING APE Logo Sports Shoes made of?

The shoes are primarily made of patent leather for the upper and a rubber sole for durability and traction.

Are these shoes suitable for athletic activities?

These shoes are designed for style and everyday comfort in urban settings. They are not intended for high-impact athletic performance.

How do I clean the patent leather finish?

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the gloss.

What is the sole height?

The sole height at its highest point is approximately 3.5 cm.

What does the 'lightning tail' on the star motif represent?

The 'lightning tail' is a distinctive design element of the A BATHING APE brand, adding a dynamic visual flair to the signature star logo.

What sizes are available?

These shoes are available in various adult UK sizes, including UK 8.5 as specified.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the patent leather is best maintained when kept dry. Prolonged exposure to wet conditions may affect the glossiness.

Troubleshooting

Scuff marks on patent leather

Gently buff the scuff with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, a small amount of specialized patent leather cleaner can be used sparingly.

Unevenness in sole height

The sole is designed with a subtly elevated profile for style. This is an intentional design feature and not a defect.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them more frequently or check if any part of the sole or upper is rubbing against itself.
