The BAPE Slide “Camo” is A Bathing Ape’s first proper slide, a slip-on that molds the brand’s signature camouflage straight into the foam rather than printing it on top. It arrives in two tonal launch colors, beige and black, on May 30, 2026.

A Bathing Ape has spent years putting its 1st Camo on everything from hoodies to the Bapesta, yet the recovery-slide category stayed untouched until now. This release answers it with a sculpted one-piece build that treats the camo as a texture you can feel, not just a graphic. The result sits closer to the chunky foam slides that took over summer rotations than to anything in the brand’s back catalog. Fans of the label can track more drops through our BAPE coverage, and the wider category lives in our sneakers hub.

The BAPE Slide “Camo” Design

The headline detail is the construction. Instead of layering a print over the upper, BAPE raised the Solid Camo pattern through the molding process itself, so the swirls and the ape head sit in physical relief across the strap and the midsole wall. A tonal ape head anchors the forefoot in the same shade as the foam, keeping the look low-profile from a distance and unmistakable up close. The footbed uses XL EXTRALIGHT foam for a light, flexible step.

Underfoot is where the design nods to BAPE’s own history. The outsole borrows from the Bapesta, carrying the radial heel swirl and the Shooting Star traction that has defined the brand’s sneaker line for more than two decades. Both the beige and the black versions keep every element in a single color, so the texture does the talking.

What Is BAPE 1st Camo?

BAPE 1st Camo is the cartoonish, ape-head-laced camouflage that A Bathing Ape founder Nigo introduced in the 1990s, and it became the print most associated with the Tokyo label. On the BAPE Slide it shows up as Solid Camo, a single-tone take where the pattern is built into the molding so you read it through depth and shadow instead of contrasting colors. That restraint is what lets the slide pass as a clean everyday pair while still carrying the brand’s most recognizable motif.
