Japanese streetwear label BAPE is recognized for its expansive range of vibrant outerwear offerings, and for the colder seasons this year, BAPE delivers its Gradation Camo anoraks. The Gradation Camo is the main patterning design of the two new outerwear pieces for Fall/Winter 2018. The label's new anoraks have the color options of either blue as a base or green. In addition to the base color and camo print, the hood on both options has a vibrant contrasting color. The blue Gradation Camo anorak has a bright yellow hood, and the green Gradation Camo anorak is crafted with a vibrant red hood.
The label's new outerwear pieces have two slanted pockets and drawstrings on the bottom for further adjustment. The anoraks will be dropping online and in New York and Los Angeles locations on March 17th for $499 USD.
