[STYLE] FARFETCH RELEASES EXCLUSIVE STADIUM GOODS X BAPE BASKETBALL INSPIRED CAPSULE COLLECTION; VARSITY BLUES.

Stadium Goods, the world’s premier sneaker and streetwear destination, have partnered with legendary streetwear brand A Bathing Ape a/k/a BAPE for a new version of the iconic “BAPE STA”, available exclusively at Farfetch.com.

The highly anticipated collaboration taps into the increasing hype of the off-court basketball aesthetic, whilst taking inspiration from the sport’s fashion halcyon days in the 1990s, with iconic players such as Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman. BAPE, already embedded in the world of Basketball, has gained a cult following for blending their signature bold graphics with sports-inspired street focused fashion; the exclusive capsule collection features hoodies, sweatshirts, varsity jackets, and BAPEX watches, all crafted with premium materials, blending style and quality.

Aptly titled ‘Varsity Blues’, the collection concept draws inspiration from American high school hallways and blacktop basketball courts, where personal style becomes an integral part of identity and self expression. The message; often the most powerful statements are made off the court – on the sidelines and in the streets. The Stadium Goods x BAPE Varsity Blues collection is inspired by those who show up to outshine the competition without ever picking up the ball.

Stadium Goods has established itself as a significant player in the UK’s sneaker and streetwear scene. Known for its vast sneaker catalog showcasing everything from rare & experimental items to the latest, must-have sneakers, Stadium Goods has built a reputation for quality, authenticity, and exclusivity, making it a popular destination for sneakerheads and fashion enthusiasts in the UK. The creative concept behind this capsule collection will resonate with both passionate sneakerheads and casual sneaker fans alike.

The Stadium Goods x BAPE collection will launch on December 13th, available in the UK online at Farfetch.com.
