On May 13th 2017, a new BAPE and Anti Social Social Club collaborative collection will become available to consumers who have access to the Japanese streetwear giant's store in New York City.
The collection features the branding of both BAPE and Anti Social Social Club boldly -- with A Bathing Ape's classic camouflage print used heavily throughout, along with its ape motif. Anti Social Social Club's name is featured on all of the pieces as well -- either in the wavy lettering that's become iconic to it, or in a bold acronym.
Included in the new BAPE and Anti Social Social Club collection are various hoodies and graphic tees, as well as branded baseball caps.
