The Bape Classics Second Edition Collection has the urban brand going back to its roots by re-releasing the items that have been a favorite among fans of the brand. The series showcases a variety of varsity jackets, [camo-themed outerwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-ovo-1), tees and hoodies. Accessories include tote bags and a pair of sneakers with a crisp all white colorway. Design-wise, the look is definitely a lot more toned down compared to the usual flashy themes that Bape has released since then.
