BAPES

Bapes, aka A Bathing Apes, aka Bapesta, is the clothing line started by the 32yearold genius Nigo. Being straight outta Japan, his ideas is madd hot in the streets. Errybody wants them madd exclusive shoes and clothes that he is sellin. These products have already hit major rap icons such as Jay-z, lil wayne, and Young Jeezy. With that type of free publicity, how could an emerging clothing line not succeed in the US?

The only Bathing Ape store in the United States as of now is the one located at 92 Greene street in SOHO New York. This store is madd exclusive and if you are trying to find it, remember to keep an eye out for the conveyor belt which makes bathing ape shoes rotate infront of the store’s front window. This store has truly become a SOHO landmark bringing hundreds of people to it a night. They are soo busy that they pretty much sell out of all their inventory before the next shipment can come in.

Why are these shoes and clothes so hott you ask. The Answer is madd exclusivity. How many people do you know wearin these kicks? Better yet, how many people do you know that have seen a random person wearing this clothing line? Exactly none. That is because random people do not wear bapes. When you see those plastic shining shitts on someone’s feet you stop dead in ur tracks and scream DAMMNNN SONNN. Its a natural reaction and should be embraced by all. To hold back excitement upon seeing bapes has led to major injuries and skeetness.

Some of my most memorable moments in rap history have come when rappers drop the clothing line’s name in a song. The mear utterance of BAPES makes people in the skreets know that these cats aint playin. U can ride in cha bentley but if u aint wearrrin bapes u just a bitch and u knows dat.

These shits is the future though no matter what u think. And they will never get old or lose their exclusivity because each pair is authentic in its own way. And new pairs are being made every day.

If you are lookin to cop some of deees hot kicks search the internet for the best deal. Their prices can range from 100 to 400 dollars depending on how fresh the look and how real you want them to be. If you want the real authentic shit come to SOHO NY and check the place where dreams are made of. Or if you aint got no money take keep pushin and get some knock offs from the streets or the internet. IN my opinon knock off are even better than reals as long as they look tight.

In the words of Nigo himself, “I don’t consider my brand merely a clothing brand,” he explains in a soft but certain voice. “BAPE is a lifestyle company, including music, hair, even food. Everything you need to live. Tokyo has all sorts of brands. They have a boom period, then they subside. I don’t want my brand to be dragged down, so I need to diversify.”
