FAQs

What material are these trainers made from?

The A BATHING APE Bape Sta #2 M2 trainers are primarily composed of patent leather for the upper and a durable rubber sole.

How do I clean the patent leather finish?

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. A mild soap solution can be used sparingly if needed, followed by wiping with a damp cloth and drying with a soft, dry cloth.

What is the sole height of these trainers?

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

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

These trainers are designed for style and everyday casual wear. They are not optimized for high-performance athletic activities.

Do these trainers have good ventilation?

Yes, they feature a perforated toe box designed to provide enhanced ventilation and breathability.

What does the metal detail on the laces signify?

The metal "B" lace detail is a signature branded element from A BATHING APE, adding a unique touch to the design.

Can I wear these with different types of outfits?

Absolutely. Their classic low-top silhouette and black colour make them versatile for pairing with various streetwear and casual ensembles.

Troubleshooting

Patent leather appears dull or scratched

Gently clean with a damp cloth. For scratches, specialized patent leather cleaners or balms might help restore shine, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive pressure when cleaning.

Laces are difficult to tighten due to metal hardware

Ensure the metal lace hardware is free of debris. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new, durable laces that slide smoothly.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. The perforated toe box should provide adequate ventilation; check for any debris blocking these holes. Consider using insoles for added cushioning if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure the laces are tied to your preferred tightness using the metal lace hardware for a secure fit.

Compatibility: The low-top silhouette and black colourway make these trainers highly compatible with a wide range of casual and streetwear attire, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and even some tailored trousers.

Care:

  • Cleaning Patent Leather: Wipe the glossy surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the finish. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and wipe clean with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Sole Care: Clean the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect the patent finish and prevent creasing.
