BAPE SHORTS

Launched in 1993, A Bathing Ape—commonly known as BAPE—is the brainchild of streetwear superstar Tomoaki Nagao. Harkening back to its Urahara origins, the Japanese heavyweight favors bright colors and bold cartoon graphics across an expansive range of streetwear and lifestyle accessories. Military references and hints of vintage Americana abound in the brand’s iconic styles. Traditional duck-hunting camouflage is echoed in the label’s classic Cloud Camo, a signature polychrome pattern adorning hoodies and beach towels alike. Frequent collaborations with artists, icons, and esteemed global entities have generated a rich catalog for the brand for over two decades. Whether collaborating on a batch of Bapestas or launching a new line of versatile goods, BAPE brings its distinctive style to everything it touches.
