[Update 30 Dec 2022] Rejoice as the JJJJound x A BATHING APE collaboration is arriving a lot more earlier than we expected. Alongside the mentioned BAPE STA “White/Navy” comes a lineup of apparel wear consisting of sweatsuit, t-shirt and caps. Set for an official release date of 7th January 2023, the JJJJound x A BATHING APE “Navy” collection will be made available via BAPE and selected retailers. In the meantime, check out the official images on the article slider above.

Following the drop of the China-exclusive Puma Suede a few days back on Christmas Eve, Montreal-based label JJJJound has already prepared another collaborative release for the coming season of SS23. This time, linking up with renowned Japanese streetwear icon A BATHING APE, the duo presents their latest take on the latter’s BAPE STA.

Taking to social media platforms, JJJJound previews shots of the upcoming release which shows the sneaker outfitted in a classic fashion—as expected from the master of minimalism. Looking back to their previous “White/Grey” rendition of the silhouette, the duo decides to utilize the same white leather upper as a base, while contrasting the tongue labels, heel tabs, lining, outsoles and STA logos with dark navy for a timeless look.

Shifting our focus to the packaging, signature BAPE camouflage prints decorates the shoe box in blue and navy tones, while JJJJound imprints its identity with a exquisite gold-foil logo on the front.

No release details are known at the moment, but do stay tuned for any future updates here as the JJJJound x A BATHING APE BAPE STA “White/Navy” is expected to hit shelves in the coming months.
