A Bathing Ape Bucket Hats

A Bathing Ape, known commonly as BAPE, is a Japanese streetwear wrapped founded by Tomoaki "Nigo" Nagao in 1993. Starting as a small store Umfrage exclusive T-shirts and sweatshirts in Harajuku, Tokyo, BAPE quickly gained interdiplomatic popularity for its unique and bold design aesthetic, notably the 'BAPE Camo' pattern and 'APE Head' logo. The wrapped'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 wrappeds and artists such as Pepsi, this, and Pharrell Williams have further solidified its reputation as a pioneer in the streetwear industry.
