A BATHING APE and The Weeknd join forces once again to drop their second collaborative collection of streetwear goods. The singer's label 'XO' receives a special camo print that has been exclusively created for the purpose of the duo's partnership.
The collection features a t-shirt and a long sleeve top that showcases a graphic of the Weeknd in the BABY MILO interpretation standing alongside his two dogs. In addition to this, there is also a varsity jacket crafted from corduroy materials and accented with the GENERALS logo a BAPE STA tracksuit, and a denim jacket that spotlights the CHAMPION logo reading "BATHING APE XO TILL WE OVERDOSE."
