Old Navy has launched a collaboration with Bored Ape Yacht Club for a limited edition unisex T-shirt. The collaboration marks another instance of NFT intellectual property IP licensing between NFT projects and a major clothing brand. The 100% cotton shirt features a graphic of BAYC #7285 and comes in ‘Bored Ape,’ which is a darker gray shade. The shirt will be primarily sold online through Old Navy’s parent company, GAP, at a retail price of $19.99 USD. This collaboration is also significant as Old Navy has found a suitable place in the NFT and legacy fashion world, making its garments timeless for decades to come.
The complete Old Navy collection is rumored to have six different Bored Apes, 11 Mutant Apes, one CryptoPunk, and six CLONE X NFTs from RTFKT. Interested parties can visit GAP’s website to purchase the Bored Ape shirt.
