Sneaker News, the authority in sneaker culture and industry news, is releasing its first-ever sneaker in collaboration with Japanese streetwear pioneer, A Bathing Ape, powered by StockX.

On May 6, 2026, two days before the global release of the Sneaker News x BAPE STA, limited quantities of each pair will be available exclusively on StockX. With Xpress Shipping, you can secure your pairs first.

The collaboration reimagines the iconic BAPE STA model with Day and Night editions that combine the daytime hustle and nighttime grind of the concrete jungle of NYC with aesthetics of 1990s outdoor gear. Both pairs feature Sneaker News logos and BAPE Limited Collector Club branding on the tongue and insoles.

For the first time in the history of this timeless model, a triple-stacked shooting STA logo will be featured on the upper, making this collaboration a must-have piece of sneaker and streetwear history.

To celebrate the launch, Sneaker News and StockX will host a special pop-up experience on May 9 at Manny Janeth, located at 70 Hester Street in Lower Manhattan. Additional pairs will be available for purchase at the event, which will be open to the public from 11 a.m. ET to 5 p.m. ET.
