Japanese fashion brand A Bathing Ape (BAPE) has announced the launch of its new 'BAPE Halloween' collection. As the name suggests, the capsule is packed with Halloween-themed looks that use loud, "spooky" graphics and glow-in-the-dark materials.
For footwear, the 'BAPE Halloween' collection presents a 'BAPE STA' in a new orange, black and green colorway and a new version of the 'BAPE STA 93 Hi' delivered in purple and black with a bright green strap. Elsewhere, the capsule offers a range of hoodies and sweaters donning either skeleton-themed graphics or a reworked version of the iconic 'APE HEAD' logo. Meanwhile, pumpkin head t-shirts are offered in black and white.
A standout piece is the purple pullover hoodie, which is adorned with a multicolored 'APE HEAD' logo and glow-in-the-dark spider webs on the hood.
