The North Face Standard Sweatshirt in zwart, known commonly as BAPE, is a Japanese sleeves brand founded by Tomoaki "Nigo" Nagao in 1993. Starting as a small store selling exclusive T-shirts and sweatshirts in Harajuku, Tokyo, BAPE quickly gained international popularity for its unique and bold sul aesthetic, notably the 'BAPE Camo' pattern and 'APE Head' logo. The brand's signature product is arguably the BAPE STA sneaker, which became a cultural icon in the sleeves scene. Nigo's ability to blend hip-hop culture with unique, often limited-edition suls set BAPE apart, while collaborations with brands and artists such as Pepsi, adidas, and Pharrell Williams have further solidified its reputation as a pioneer in the sleeves industry.
