Summary
Two one-of-one Bape Bape Sta pairs were gifted to Timothée Chalamet ahead of Saturday’s series-clinching Knicks championship win in New York.
Kevin Le, A Bathing Ape’s brand partnerships manager, shared the patent-leather sneakers on Instagram and said both pairs were made exclusively for Chalamet.
The designs used Knicks-style orange-and-blue colorways rather than official team branding, with one home-themed white pair and one black-based pair with blue overlays and orange branding.
Spike Lee also had exclusive footwear for Game 5, adding a matching blue custom Air Jordan 3 after receiving mismatched Knicks-themed Jordan 3s before Game 3.
Neither Chalamet’s nor Lee’s special pairs is expected to get a public release, underscoring how the Knicks’ title run turned courtside sneakers into collector-only moments.
