Ready for the Spring/Summer of 2017, the most recent BAPE collection comes imbued with the Japanese streetwear brands beloved motifs.
A large number of the pieces are covered with camouflage patterns, however the color combinations that create them vary. While some stick to the usual green, black and brown palette, other versions include purple, pink and indigo, navy, black and coral, as well as differing hues of red and orange.
In addition to the brand's iconic camouflage pattern that integrates its ape logo throughout, the BAPE collection heavily features its shark motif. The toothy figure is included on the back of hoodies and on the front of pants, giving the pieces a statement look that instantly likens the garment to the brand.
