Bape Bapesta Shark Release Date 2025

There’s no denying that the Bape shark is one of the most iconic streetwear motifs of all time. We’ve seen it on tees, we’ve seen it on full-zip hoodies, and for our purposes, we’ve seen it on sneakers. In revisiting one of its most well-known graphics, the Japanese imprint is coming out with a fresh collection of shark Bapestas on August 9th.

Here we have three colorways; white, black, and purple. The shark teeth appear under the STA logo on both sides of each shoe, complemented by eyes on the heel panel so as to complete a full illustration. Patent leather STA overlays provide a slight elevated touch, while the Ape – Bape’s other iconic insignia, materializes on metallic silver lace dubraes.

All three Bape Bapesta “Shark” colorways release August 9th via the Bape website, priced at JP¥29000 (roughly $200 USD). See official images below if you’re a fan.
