^^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….

^^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.
