After the success of the inaugural BAPE x Dragon Ball Super: Broly collection, the two entities join forces for yet another range that is scheduled to drop on Saturday, December 28th on BAPE’s e-commerce store.
The pieces in the Fall/Winter 2019 drop include basic silhouettes – from t-shirts and crewnecks to hoodies. Each garment is co-branded and showcases a playful graphic that nods to the anime’s characters, as well as the streetwear company’s Baby Milo. The clothing is offered in subdued colors.
The BAPE x Dragon Ball Super: Broly collection for the Fall/Winter 2019 season is yet another example of how streetwear brands channel the aesthetic of cult-favorite anime series and films to delight their customer base.
