Why have all these rappers just found out what Bape is?

[mortuus est]

well bape still release clothes , and everyone wears everything, always been like that

 

[FUPA]

I agree 100%.

Black scale is pretty much old news. The shop in the east village they opened up stays empty on a consistent basis.

and its pretty sad. I still fukk with certain pieces from BS mostly outwear lowkey heat items. But they went and died pushing heavy with whole ASAP Mob and then rocky just kicked em to the side.

My fave brand though is Supreme they are a skate brand or were but they are so heavy in pushing all types of different cultures. Dont know how people hate on it.

Still hope they drop a nas photo tee.

Niccas been sporting Bape in the hood since atleast the mid 00s , im pretty sure these rappers born in the 90s was aware of it


Lol that Biggie flick photoshopped

*facepalm*

biggie pic is not a photoshop at all

bape was founded in japan and did very well there for YEARS prior to it coming to the US market

the biggie pic is a real pic of him rockin some bape in the 90's before he died...

 

[itsyoung!!]

I fukk with HBK but get the fukk outta here nikka

What you mean? He was wearing it after it died down then he go mess with wiz khalifa, problem and them then he blows up more and now you see it every where again

 

[1thouwow]

I credit metro boomin for the reemergence of it.

 

[vampire xtc]

bape has always done well and been around

im in NYC so seeing someone rocking bape is just a common thing now a days being as we have a bape store in soho

especially with all the collabos they have done with UNDFTD and most recently puma etc...

and it sells out FAST even with such a high price point

just like that BBC stuff sells out fast


as for supreme those wu tang or dipset pics didnt put them on the map they have been killing it since their inception

supreme entire appeal is the fact its only available at retail from supreme directly and nowhere else and its made in limited quantities

do they make some nice stuff?

yea


always?

fukk no lol

 

[joeychizzle]

I remember rocking these to my high school no uniform day 2006 was a fire year
it was a shytty little school with boarding facilities in England.. they had never seen this shyt so fresh.. straight from the stores of Hong Kong to the skreets of Southwest England

 

[noumena]

And how the fukk did Tyler or keef have anything to do with these dudes rocking bape? Op just threw them in there for no reason

Tyler been wearing bape since like 07 he just recently started rockin his own OF merch

Always seen that pic....what's the story behind the the big picture?

The BAPE jacket actually belonged to the photographer, Shawn Mortensen. Obviously the jacket was Japanese sizing and back then even the largest jacket wouldn't have fit on Biggie. That's why it's draped on him like a cape. It's a shame both of them are dead.

BTW, why is Jay always incredibly late to the party fashion wise? Like seriously. 48 years old and just started rocking Bathing Ape, like nikka, that is truly pathetic!

Hating just to hate

The world needs a Nas x Supreme collab.


Seriously.

 

[Astroslik]

I copped my last bape just before nigo sold the company to some chinese firm, since then I knew the quality and look would go down.

Ya'll nikka keep paying for that overpriced low quality though, I'll still be rocking my human made

supreme is trash, you missed the golden era of 2007-2011 when they were dropping fire

cacs and cornballs ruined the brand

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

Bape has been "back" for a few years now.

Human made is cool. It's very toned down tho, it's like Nigo went in the opposite direction after Bape.
