FAQs

What material are these sneakers made of?

The sneakers feature a glossy patent leather upper with textile lining and a rubber outsole.

How should I clean the patent leather?

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that can damage the finish.

Are these suitable for athletic performance?

These sneakers are designed primarily for style and comfort in casual settings, not for rigorous athletic activities.

What is the typical fit of A BATHING APE sneakers?

A BATHING APE sneakers generally offer a standard fit, but it is recommended to consult size charts and consider personal preference for snugness.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, patent leather is not inherently waterproof and prolonged exposure to moisture is not recommended. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.

What does the 'Bape STA' refer to?

'Bape STA' refers to the signature star logo and the popular line of sneakers produced by A BATHING APE.

Troubleshooting

Scuffs on patent leather

Gently wipe the affected area with a damp microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, a specialized patent leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by a soft cloth buff.

Laces becoming dirty

Remove laces and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.

Squeaking sound from soles

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or ensure the sole is clean and dry.

Loss of shine on leather

Use a dedicated patent leather polish or conditioner, applying it with a soft cloth and buffing gently to restore shine.
