Marvel and BAPE Add Three New BAPESTAs to the Collection

(Update 12/5) New additions to the 2022 Marvel x BAPESTA collection are on the way with new colorways inspired by Spider-Man, Venom, and Doctor Strange set to release on December 11 via BAPE stores and BAPE online retailers.

Before there was the MCU, there was the BAPE Cinematic Universe. In 2005, Marvel partnered up with A Bathing Ape for a collaborative collection that included the BAPESTA in various Marvel hero colorways including Captain America, Hulk, Thor, and Iron Man. BAPE recently announce the return of those aforementioned colorways as well as the addition of two new colors representing Rocket Raccoon of the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Russian Avenger Black Widow.

Like the 2005 release, the silhouettes will all feature a glossy patent leather build and an image of the character they represent on the lateral heel of the shoe and the classic Marvel ‘M’ logo on the medial heel. However, these are not simply a redux of the 2005 run as each embroidered character gets an action portrait instead of the headshots found on the original. The Marvel x BAPESTA 2022 collection is set to release on August 21 in China followed by a US release later this year online and at BAPE storefronts. As always, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will have members ready for drop day.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
