Japanese streetwear imprint BAPE presents a new collection to celebrate its 30th anniversary. Notably, the collection is exclusive to London with a limited series of graphic tees, magnets, lanyards, and pins. The capsule is available to shop online and specifically at the Central London store location.
The streetwear image highlights a blue and red tonal palette that can be seen in the form of the red ape head motif. The graphic tee is detailed with the emblem along with a dual tonal interior with camouflage detail to celebrate its milestone through an active speaking box. At the back of the shirt are Japanese letters that are adorned with a sketched visual to match the rest of the accessories.
