A Bathing Ape Bape Sta Heron Preston - A Bathing Ape put the game of collaboration to the test in 2022. On the brand's curated list of creative partners is Heron Preston, the multi-hypenate who has worked closely with artists like Virgil Abloh's Kanye West on the way to launching his own label in 2017. Primarily recognized for oversized multi-use apparel, Heron Preston has transferred his dangerous orange feature to BAPE STA's camouflage pattern.

Using a classic two-tone color blocking method, this BAPE STA collaboration sees a variety of orange and earthy shades flood the ABC camouflage print on the lining, while a smooth white leather covers the toe and center panel. Brass BAPE dubrae are glued to the base of the lacing, while a label on the tongue on the left shoe mirrors Preston's signature style for product labeling.
