Trenton Millar — September 5, 2012 — Fashion
These BAPE Street Fighter Tees were created to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Street Fighter. A Bathing Ape and Street Fighter collaborated to turn the cast of Street Fighter into BAPE-style cartoons. The result is a playful rendition of this classic fighting game that pays tribute to the series' staying power.
The BAPE Street Fighter Tees feature the eight main characters of Street Fighter. The most popular of them is most likely Ryu, Ken and Chung-Li. In addition to the regular cast of Street Fighter characters, the shirts also include Baby Milo, a BAPE icon.
The BAPE Street Fighter Tees come in six different styles. The shirts will be available soon in select stores including Tokyo Game Show, Dover Street Market and BAPEXCLUSIVE Kyoto, as well as on the BAPE online store.
