The 2008 TYPE-05 is a classic denim pant silhouette with damage details and wears a light blue wash. The denim is crafted with lightweight materials to be suitable for the upcoming warmer weather -- delivering a more breathable wear.
The 2008 TYPE-05 have a slight fading on the front of the pants in contrast to the light wash. The highly recognized sharp print is done in an off-white color and sits over the zipper and rise area. The denim piece will be available for purchase starting on February 10th on BAPE's website.
