UPDATE 6/10/26: One signed pair of each KidSuper x BAPE Sta colorway will be auctioned off on StockX June 11-15th. Each pair will be signed by KidSuper founder Colm Dillane. Some colorways will release in-store on June 11th at KidSuper Studios in Brooklyn and at select BAPE stores in Japan. The plan is to offer the collection for pre-order down the line, but only the colorways that satisfy the order minimum will be manufactured.

Original Story 6/9/26:
KidSuper and BAPE are taking their latest BAPE STA collaboration to a global level for the 2026 World Cup.

After premiering their inaugural collab earlier this year, the two brands are releasing an extensive footwear collection celebrating the expanded 2026 roster. The collection will feature 48 KidSuper x BAPE STA colorways, each paying homage to one of the countries involved in the tournament.

The silhouette carries over the eye graphic from KidSuper’s original collab with BAPE. Individual pairs receive a country code on the heel tab. The color options largely borrow from real national flags, so each release sports a distinct team-inspired identity. Some countries get slightly more creative, like Japan whose color palette was inspired by retro 1996 World Cup jerseys.

Due to the massive number of releases, drops will take place in phases. The first 10 colorways, including the United States, Mexico, England, France, Japan, Spain, Ghana, Argentina, Brazil, and Portugal, are set to launch on June 11th via KidSuper and BAPE.

The other 38 pairs are expected to launch later through a pre-order setup, though full timing and delivery details have not been confirmed yet.

Looking at just how massive this year’s 2026 World Cup will be, this collab couldn’t be more timely. The KidSuper x BAPE STA collection is patriotic, international, and curated for fans who want merch with their home nation directly connected to it.
