BAPE

A Bathing Ape, widely known as BAPE, is a Japanese streetwear brand founded by Nigo (Tomoaki Nagao) in 1993. While best known for its bold, graphic-driven apparel, BAPE has also carved out a strong presence in the sneaker world.
One of its most iconic footwear styles, the BAPE-STA, gained massive popularity, but its close resemblance to the Nike Air Force 1 Mid eventually led to a legal dispute with Nike. Despite this, the silhouette remains a cornerstone of the brand’s sneaker legacy.
BAPE's identity is unmistakable, defined by its signature ape logo and the instantly recognisable ABC CAMO pattern, which appear throughout its collections. Known for vibrant colours, playful motifs, and a cartoon-inspired aesthetic, the brand continues to push the boundaries of streetwear with a distinctly bold and irreverent style.
