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

[EndDomination]

skater culture knew about palace for a year or two before Rocky started wearing it. Ian Connor was wearing palace before Rocky. Get off that man nuts he didn't put shyt on the map

ASAP Rocky is everything Ian Connor wants to be, you know how hard he worked for that ASAP affiliation?
They share fashion trends.

Big Sean was rocking bape 10 years ago



He was wearing it in videos a long ass time ago, you just started noticing it.

Era of Prominence: 2007-2009

Early on, pre-Givenchy and Alexandre Plokhov, Big Sean was a big fan of A Bathing Ape. The Detroit native wore tons of T-Shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets with the memorable Ape head. And in 2008, he went from a fan to a model for the Japanese label, posing in the winter lookbook. Sean said it best in his "Mr. Incredible" track: "All I need is my Nikes, chain, and Bathing Ape on."

OMG...rappers really be ruining these brands man.

Palace is already getting fuccboid out to death.

nobody was fukking with palace last year. BAPE has been dead for so long now. Its kinda nice to see it making a comeback. Just stay away from Supreme im already having a hard time getting that shyt and resell prices are ridiculous. Though it is nice to make side cash reselling that shyt to fuccbois.

OP

do you think people in europe and japan give ae fukk about what american rappers are doing? BAPE never left. relax

 

[Ohene]

nikkas been on it.... Bape is just refreshing the brand... Doing collabs, etc

exactly

 

[FUPA]

If you buying bape from US site and stores you lost btw

 

[godliness]

Bape still look the same as it did in 05-06. Not sure why any real fashion nikka would rock that

 

[Sauce Dab]

So what do you want these rappers to do?
You must have threw your bape out because you thought the trend died but it came back now you're mad

 

[Mac Casper]

Hired new marketing squad?

that camo jacket Biggie got on is fuego ...cant even find nothing like that these days

Wasn't even his jacket. He borrowed it off the photographer. Couldn't fit him, so draped it over him

Because you have a bunch of unoriginal lames caping for bape but don't know who Nigo is

I would think people in Japan are smart enough to cop clothes that are actually pushing the envelope. I already said Bape will never die, because it's a part of history, but the brand has clearly peaked

Future and metro got so deep into the bape game this year

The store in NY still on that bullshyt though...it can be empty as hell and they make u ring the buzzer to get in ...and then on weekends be letting like 5 people in at a time just to form a line outside and build hype

Thats sounds better than the preme store. I dont even go there anymore. Anytime they drop a new season theres a long line for like a week plus now. Its pathetic even when i just want to look.

Palace has been rocked by hodgy beats and asap rocky anx ferg since like 2012. Thats where everybody got on that. And its a skateboarding company first and foremost...not a streetwear brand. They focus more on making videos with their team.

They just did the online thing for a while then pop ups in la, ny, and london....then the palace x adidas collabs....now they got their own store in London (where the Palace hrand originated.)
