First Look at the Heron Preston x BAPE STA

Last week, Heron Preston himself took to social media to tease a mysterious collaboration. Captioned "I’ve been cooking up some things for you…. coming next month!", we finally know what the American fashion designer has up his sleeve. Made in collaboration with Nigo, the Heron Preston x BAPE STA has now been officially unveiled - and we're taking our first look yet!

Taking on the classic BAPESTA silhouette which takes inspiration from the Nike Air Force 1, the base of the shoe is crafted from a crisp white leather, while canvas panels wrap around the STA complete with a vibrant orange 1ST CAMO motif that's seamlessly blends Preston's signature hue with Nigo's classic pattern.

Heron Preston's iconic tag is stitched onto the tongue, while the legendary BAPE shooting star zooms across the lateral and medial side panels. This all sits on top of a crisp white midsole, and rounding it all off is a stainless steel deubré that's embossed with the Japanese streetwear imprint's name, finalising the design.

Set to drop this week on May 7th, the Heron Preston x A Bathing Ape BAPESTA "Orange" is a must-have for fans of both brands. Let us know if you'll be going for a pair, and while you're here, you might as well take a first look at the BAPE x New Balance 57/40 Collection!
