Streetwear giant BAPE celebrates this year's Mid-Autumn Festival with a collection of themed graphic t-shirts. The series of tees boast a monochromatic palette as the base foundation with hues of white, gray, and black. BAPE honors the full moon that falls on the Autumn Equinox.
The graphics showcase the brand at the spotlight and the tonal tees also feature different iterations of the Ape Head emblem. Additionally, there are font graphics that read "A Bathing Ape,' and 'A BUSY WORKS' circle motif. Notably, all of these branding accents are reworked to showcase the moon's surface with reflective detailing as a captivating element on the monochromatic base. The capsule is set to launch on September 7th online with a limit of one piece per customer.
