FAQs

What material are these trainers made of?

The A BATHING APE Bape Sta #1 M2 trainers feature a leather upper with patent overlays and a durable rubber sole.

How should I clean the patent parts of the trainers?

Gently wipe the patent overlays with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or materials that could scratch the surface.

Are these trainers suitable for sports?

These trainers are designed primarily for fashion and casual wear. While the rubber sole provides traction, they are not performance athletic shoes.

What does the 'STA' logo represent?

The STA logo is an iconic symbol of the A BATHING APE brand, particularly featured on their well-known Bape Sta line of sneakers.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or manufacturer. The UK size is indicated, and measurements can help confirm fit.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the leather and rubber offer some protection, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain to maintain the condition of the materials, especially the patent overlays.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather upper

Some creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.

Scuffs on patent overlays

Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, professional restoration might be necessary.

Discoloration from dirt

Clean the shoes regularly following the care instructions. Use appropriate cleaners for leather and patent materials.
