The Marvel x BAPE STA™ “Fantastic Four” 2025 Collection Drops This Week

A BATHING APE® continues its partnership with Marvel partnership ins this latest BAPE STA™ collection, this time taking inspiration from the legendary Fantastic Four universe.

This new capsule dives deep into five of the superhero team’s storylines, reimagining the patent-leather BAPE STA™ in palettes pulled straight from Marvel’s most iconic characters. Each pair pairs glossy leather overlays with bold comic-book inspired hues, while custom details cement the theme.

Character graphics actually land on the lateral heel of the left shoe, while the right heel carries embroidered Marvel branding—a formula consistent with previous Marvel x BAPE drops.

Mr. Fanstastic and Invisible Woman

This one drops as a shared colourway lifted from their Golden Age suits.

Doctor Doom

This edition arrives with metallic silver touches on the toe and heel, standing out as one of the most popular designs in the pack.

The Thing and Human Torch

Rounds out the core four, with the Torch’s fiery orange/red getting a refreshed twist compared to earlier releases.

Each sneaker comes boxed in retro blister-style packaging which is a deliberate nod to Marvel and BAPE’s early-2000s collaborations. Alongside the footwear, matching graphic tees complete the release, giving fans a chance to match fits.

BAPE Japan has confirmed a September 27th release date for the Marvel x BAPE STA™ “Fantastic Four” collection which is in just a few days time, though global availability is still unconfirmed.
