Clothing designer A Bathing Ape, or more formally known as [Bape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbuggy-1), is well-known for delivering hip and stylish clothing. However, their latest creation isn't a new line of clothing, it's a line of stylish [camouflaged scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cr-life-collection).

Bape teamed up with scooter company Aeon for these limited edition 'Bapeon' set of two wheelers. Limited to only 500, it is definite these 125cc whips will be bought by collectors and fashion dwellers in record time.

**Implications** - **Were armies ever uncontroversial in the past? Watch for professional tone.

Businesses willing to invest in military-inspired designs, particularly retro ones, will find favor among the growing demographic of people interested in camouflaged products.
