BAPE works in collaboration with Crocs, and the two present a look at its new Classic Clog remix, which is detailed with the iconic ABC Camo print. It comes in three colorway options, including pink, green, and blue -- the series will be dropping on March 8th on BAPE, and another launch to follow on March 12th on Crocs.
The slip-on model is detailed with familiar BAPE emblems, which arrive in the form of the Jibbitz as well. BAPE showcased the launch online, and the upper is adorned in the patterned finish. Each one comes with its own set of Jibbitz for a custom touch with motifs of 'APE HEAD, BABY MILO, SHARK, TIGER and the “APE SHALL NEVER KILL APE” slogan.'
