Collection: Bape

Bape (A Bathing Ape)
Bape, short for A Bathing Ape, is a Japanese streetwear brand founded by Nigo (Tomoaki Nagao) in Ura-Harajuku, Tokyo, in 1993. While primarily known for its apparel, Bape has released numerous sneakers, often featuring its distinctive camouflage patterns (BAPE STA) and ape head logo. Nigo's vision was to create a brand that reflected his passion for streetwear, hip-hop culture, and vintage Americana. Bape quickly gained a cult following in Japan and internationally, particularly after being embraced by celebrities and musicians. Its limited-edition releases, unique designs, and collaborations with other brands have cemented its status as a highly sought-after and influential streetwear brand in the sneaker world, despite not being a traditional athletic footwear company.
