Bape

BAPE, short for A Bathing Ape, is a legendary Japanese streetwear brand founded in 1993 by designer and music producer NIGO in Tokyo. Known for its bold graphics, camouflage prints, and ape-head logo, BAPE quickly became a symbol of urban fashion and exclusivity.

The brand gained global fame through collaborations with artists like Pharrell Williams, Kanye West, and brands like Nike, adidas, Supreme, and Marvel. BAPE’s most iconic product, the Bapesta sneaker, resembles the Nike Air Force 1 but features its own lightning bolt logo and unique designs.

Today, BAPE stands at the heart of street culture, blending Japanese design with hip-hop influence and global hype. Limited drops, high resale value, and celebrity endorsements keep BAPE one of the most sought-after names in fashion.
