FAQs

What material is the BAPE Bape Sta #2 M2 trainer made from?

The trainer features a calf leather upper with patent leather overlays and a rubber sole.

How should I clean the white leather parts?

Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

These trainers are primarily designed for style and casual wear, not for intense athletic activities. The rubber sole provides everyday traction.

What does the APE HEAD dubrae signify?

The APE HEAD dubrae is a signature branding element from BAPE, indicating the authenticity and design heritage of the shoe.

How do I ensure the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. The model in this guide is a UK 12.

Can I wear these in wet conditions?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the leather and patent materials are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments to preserve their condition.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers with proper care?

With regular wear and consistent care, these trainers can last for several years, maintaining their aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on patent leather

This is a natural characteristic of patent leather. To minimize, avoid over-bending the shoe. Store with shoe trees to maintain shape.

Discoloration of white leather

Clean immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner. Protect with a suitable leather protector spray.

Laces becoming worn

Replace laces with a similar style or color. BAPE offers replacement laces, or standard flat laces can be used.

Rubber sole losing grip

Ensure the sole is clean from debris. If wear is significant, consult a shoe repair specialist for potential sole replacement or repair.
