BAPE x Nintendo

Whenever I come across stuff like this it reminds of how much I love this brand. Only a Bathing Ape could pull this off and make it uber cool. Apparently a Bape is working with Nintendo to release not just three tees (as you probably already know, see hypebeast) but a number of items that will explore both brands affinity for eccentric characters and products. I mean just look at the kind of products my man Nigo puts out (see below). As far as I know he's the first one to put a plain white t-shirt with his logo, in a bottle, put the bottle in a box, put a price tag of $500+ on it, and have 50 or more people line up the day of release trying to get their hands on it. Amazing products? Street credibility? Marketing genius? Whatever it is a Bathing Ape is not going away anytime soon.

BAPE 07 collection

Bathing Apes Autumn/winter Collection is here. I see they are still going strong with the superhero thing. Check out the hoody with the Flash, Superman, Batman, and wonder woman characters on it, here. Very fresh. And the spongebob tee here. And the really boring colors in the new collection here. And for the Hypebeast post click the link.

BA(AALLIN)PE*

$2000 for an outfit, 30 or 40 bape shoes, 9 Bape jackets!!! This guy must freakin own his own sweatshop or drug empire (maybe even both) to be able to afford all this stuff. Jeez I'm sure the only reason he looks so frantic and ready to leave is because he left his 1.6 million dollar bugatti engine on outside and needs to remind his model girlfriend that he's okay...
