bapes over rated honestly
they’ve come a long way…all respect due, to Nigo & company.
Does anyone wear Bapes anymore? Not being sarcastic. Im really asking.
Weak sauce. Last time I saw bape. It was fake
I rather rock greedy genius
nothin special about these but i still love BAPE but i just copped a shark varsity from them and they wont be gettin any more money from me for a while. lol
Garbage then…. garbage now
Yeah I like BAPE too, but not like how it used to be. But congrats to 16 years.
When I was in England got to hit up the BAPE store..some products were nice but honestly never been a fan….
^^escargile I wear BAPE alot….used to live near the original BAPE shop in Aoyama and started buying their shoes and t-shirts back in 97-98.
It’s funny how people try to knock Bape, when in fact Bape sells 99% of their product at asking price. BAPE doesn’t hit sales racks….yet we open up our Eastbay magazine every month and half the magazine is a friggin’ TON of Jordan/Nike/Adidas/Puma/etc that’s over 50% off because it’s not selling. Hit BAPE the day after something drops and try getting it….you’ll walk out empty handed….guarantee.
Yeah, BAPE “borrows” from other brands and flips it a little, and that hurts some peoples feelings (mostly people who refuse to believe designers look outside of their own brains for ideas,) but every brand does it, so that’s kind of a stupid point to make. Nigo (and Horishi Fujiwara) don’t need to prove sh*t to anyone…..the proof is in the way they move product, regardless of what people say.
16 years in the game says it all TokyoMike
you can check the vids of his cribs and kinda
see where he gets his inspiration from (colorway wise)
he has a rooms for Simpsons stuff, Star Wars stuff,
guitars, a Gucci Room (tables, chairs, wallpaper, CEILING)
and a bunch of other stuff…hes truly a kid at heart
or in pocket lol
^^They shoot alot of the seasonal BAPE magazines at Nigo’s crib and yeah, it looks like homeboy lives in a damn Toy’s R Us…..I don’t like all of BAPE’s stuff but I’ve got a ton of their early shoes, some newer ones, and some plain t shirts and stuff…..none of the candy cane looking recent garbage though….
let me rephrase my comment the shoes is over rated I fool with the clothes tho actually
16 years???? WOW!!LOL i thought they came out in 2005 for real. Prolly cuz im only 16 lol. But i still dont like em tho….
TokyoMike = I get ur point, but u gotta think about the quantity difference between bape products and footwears on eastbay…a huge gap
woah whoever said bapes are over rated can take a straight razor to the head, the only shoes i wear are bapes forces and air jordans
