Hajime Sorayama’s famed robot illustrations have been at the forefront of Instagram moodboards, pop culture, and everywhere in between as the provocative super-realism feminine robots embody the artist’s attention to detail.

Sorayama and A BATHING APE are bringing the robots to life with an upcoming SK8 STA. The SK8 STA is coated in an all-metallic silver look as gold details are found throughout the shoe. The robot inspiration goes beyond the color choices as bolts and metallic eyelets complete the look. The SK8 STA will also release alongside an apparel collection that includes tees, crewnecks, Shark full-zip hoodies, sweatpants, and beanies.

The Hajime Sorayama x BAPE SK8 STA and accompanying apparel collection releases on December 26 at A BATHING APE stores and BAPE.com. The collaborative SK8 STA retails for ￥25,300. 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
