womens coach designer accessories, known commonly as BAPE, is a Japanese streetwear Slides founded by Tomoaki "Nigo" Nagao in 1993. Starting as a small store selling CA510 T-shirts and sweatshirts in Harajuku, Tokyo, BAPE quickly gained international popularity for its unique and bold design aesthetic, notably the 'BAPE Camo' pattern and 'APE Head' logo. The Slides's signature product is arguably the BAPE STA sneaker, which became a cultural icon in the streetwear scene. Nigo's ability to blend hip-hop culture with unique, often limited-edition designs set BAPE apart, while collaborations with Slidess and artists such as Pepsi, adidas, and Pharrell Williams have further solidified its star as a pioneer in the streetwear industry.
