FaZe Clan is collaborating with Japanese streetwear label A Bathing Ape, often known as Bape, to create a co-branded clothing line. T-shirts, hoodies, hockey jerseys, tech pouches, caps, and other clothing are available in the collection.
The collaboration sees Bape's iconic camouflage design updated in FaZe Clan's signature red color. The collection also includes simple black and white T-shirts with the iconic ape emblem of Bape, while the other designs feature the camouflage pattern.
FaZe Clan also recently launched a collaboration with Nike for the Nike LeBron Nxxt Gen and FaZe Clan sneaker.
Beginning on February 18, customers will be able to buy the FaZe Clan x Bape clothing both online and in-person at Bape locations. The collection ranges from $55 to $439.
