BAPE (A Bathing Ape) is an iconic Japanese streetwear collection founded by Nigo in Harajuku in 1993. Since its inception, the brand has distinguished itself with a bold and recognizable aesthetic: the ABC Camo , the Ape Head, the Shark Hoodie and the Bapesta sneaker have become cult pieces among collectors, celebrities and streetwear aficionados.
The collection combines influences from hip-hop, pop culture, and Japanese design, featuring limited releases and high-profile collaborations with global artists and brands—including landmark collaborations with KAWS , Pharrell Williams , and major sports and consumer brands—that keep the brand constantly in the news and drops. The Baby Milo character adds a more playful, limited-edition dimension to the BAPE universe.
With an international presence in flagship stores and pop-ups around the world, BAPE is characterized by its strategy of exclusive drops that generate great anticipation and demand in the community. In 2023, the brand celebrated its 30th anniversary , highlighting its legacy in urban fashion and reaffirming its ability to reinvent itself without losing its distinctive visual motifs.
The BAPE collection is perfect for those seeking pieces with a strong identity, high recognition value, and a direct link to the history of contemporary streetwear. Ideal for buyers who value limited editions, unique collaborations, and a style that blends Japanese tradition and global culture.
