The BAPE x Tamagotchi capsule collection includes everything from limited-edition gaming devices to co-branded apparel, all of which deliver the sense of nostalgia that Millennials crave.
While the egg-shaped gaming devices allow the same essence of the digital pet care experience as ever, they do so with a stylish camo unit. As part of the game, players will find Tamagotchis come in three color options (green, blue, and pink) that pay homage to the 1996 design of the first-generation Tamagotchi. Thanks to a coordinated neck strap, this gaming device becomes a wearable accessory that's ready to take anywhere.
Hoodies and t-shirts are the foundations of the BAPE x Tamagotchi streetstyle collection, and they sport designs that represent what both brands are best known for.
