For the new collaboration, designers at Heron Preston opted to reach into BAPE's archives for inspiration, borrowing elements from its '90s and '00s-era garments. As a result, the collection brings back the APE HEAD graphic tees and utilizes a camouflage pattern that blends BAPE’s 1st [CAMO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cr-life-collection) print with its iconic purple COLOR CAMO, which was famously worn by Lil Wayne in 2005. In addition, the collection features an official Heron Preston [BAPE STA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-stadium-goods) (BAPE's main sneaker silhouette), which arrives in the NYC label's signature orange color scheme. For those interested, the new BAPE x Heron Preston collection is set to drop on May 7.
