Official BAPE thread??

Yall don't think right now bape is on the same level as C2 days?

Back then it was Kanye, pharell, nerd, etc

Now we got big Sean, Travis Scott, ASAP mob, and more who are ******* with bape heavy.

I guess I was too young around that time to afford bape so my age group didn't really have it. Now all I see is bape down my IG timeline. We all on it now :lol:
 
Nah I can't say its anywhere near the same level....

You had to be around to during that c2 era but the bape and Fape (fake Bape) was heavy.

I know a couple dudes who hit crazy licks off of hustling those Bape inspired full zip hoodies.

Bape is def on a resurgence right now which is cool, but back then BAPE was heavy in the HOOD believe it or not.

Its now more a of a luxury streetwear thing. The hood still aint on it too much (yet)
 
Bape was poppin' in Asia and those in the know way before Da Carter, papi. :lol: :nthat:

My fam in Japan was in on that Nowhere before the Busy Works Shop if you catch me.


And I think these "new kids" deaded Bape 5 years ago. :lol:

Respect I had no idea of your childhood so I will def give you that. Bape has been hot in Japan for years.


It's all good, bro.

I'm happy that Bape is still getting shine though and being recognized as timeless now.

Crazy how pieces from decades ago can still be worn well today. A Bathing Ape definitely has that essence now.

Was just having this discussion at lunch today..Bape has definitely turned into a collector's brand, it's crazy.

Personally I don't think it ever fell off too heavy, just in the eyes of the mainstream..Bape been putting out consistently dope product for the last 15 years IMO.

What's everyone think of the NYC collabs? Personally, there's alot going on on each piece, like Cudi's collab the most.
 
Most people say go one size up. I tend to buy all my **** in mediums cuz I'm pretty skinny.

I also dry clean all my expensive **** to reduce shrinkage.

Others suggest buying a large and just washing it once.

how does the medium fit for you? 

I rock a medium in everything. I have some old bape in a large that I didn't really like the fit on.

I use Bape mostly for laying pieces under jackets etc so I don't like it too big under my stuff.
 
Anyone going for anything on tomorrow's online drop? 

Hoping to cop a black cudi nyc tee for myself

Passing on pretty much all the NY stuff. I'm sure a couple pieces will make it on to Pondon so I will have a second chance if anything really catches my eye.

My fav are def the Futura, Pusha, and Cudi joints.

I'm hunting that yellow 1st camo shark pullover for the time being, can't find anything under 350 tho so I might be on stack mode for a sec

Does bape fit smaller since it's a JP brand?

not.necessarily, but the fitting changed over the past year. If u are thicker than the norm, might be safer to go up. try check for measurements. getting the same size as what u get foe nike tees seem okay
