FAQs

What material are these shoes made of?

The A BATHING APE Logo Sports Shoes feature a patent leather upper and a durable rubber sole.

Are these suitable for athletic activities?

These shoes are designed for fashion and everyday casual wear. They are not recommended for high-performance athletic activities.

How do I clean the patent leather finish?

Wipe the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For best results, use a cleaner specifically designed for patent leather.

What is the sole height?

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

What does the "Bape STA" lettering on the heel signify?

The "Bape STA" lettering is part of the brand's signature design, indicating the model and reinforcing the A BATHING APE origin.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, patent leather is not inherently waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

How should I store these shoes when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect the patent finish and prevent creasing. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.

Troubleshooting

Patent leather appears dull or scratched.

Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized patent leather cleaner and buff with a soft, dry cloth. Minor scratches may be difficult to remove completely.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable.

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Check that the lacing is not too tight.

Creasing on the patent leather.

Creasing is natural with patent leather. To minimize it, avoid over-flexing the shoes and store them properly. Stuffing them with shoe trees when not in use can help maintain their shape.

Sole feels slippery.

The rubber sole provides grip, but like all footwear, can be slippery on certain wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean. For added traction on specific surfaces, consider professional sole treatments.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the patent leather with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the glossy finish.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources, such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause the patent leather to crack or warp.
  • Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and prevent creasing. Avoid stacking them with other shoes to prevent damage to the patent finish.
  • Maintenance: For maintaining the shine, a patent leather cleaner or a soft cloth can be used. Be mindful of potential color transfer if wearing with dark socks, especially when new.
