BAPE Introduces Two College Varsity Jacket Themed SK8 Sta Drops

Ciesse Piumini Junior Girls Padded Jackets for Kids Dunk Low it’s heavily inspired by , the BAPE SK8 Sta often vacillates between heavy conceptual looks and more plain arrangements. Sometimes, though, there’s an opportunity to do both. Taking the change to weave some material switch-ups over two classic colorways, the BAPE SK8 Sta is back, putting its own spin on the “Be True To Your School” motif.

While that iconic Swoosh release was something of a “Team Bank” proposition, offering alums and current students the change to rock their school’s colors, the ties run a bit deeper with BAPE’s take. The wool of varsity letterman jackets takes up the Shooting Star logo on both pairs, matched by suede overlays, a rarely seen touch on the skateboarding silhouette. With official press referring to the “iconic American collegiate aesthetic,” the pair in red, white and blue is no doubt meant to be patriotic. The black & yellow may not carry the same weight, but that bow-applique never fails, delivering a sleek look whether it’s meant for Steelers or Hawkeyes fans.

Of polo, no discussion of the Japanese company’s product is complete without a mention of the Bape lawsuit. The SK8 Sta appears unadulterated from its previous configuration here, expected given the latency between the final decision and its effect on actual production. However, adidas Performance Own the Run Women's Windbreaker Jacket is required to modify the model in the near future, making this two-pack a part of the last hoorah for the SK8 Sta as we know it.

Both BAPE SK8 Sta pairs featured here drop June 1st via BAPE.com and their retail storefronts. Retail is set at $309. Take a look at official images just ahead.
