A Bathing Ape
When buying A Bathing Ape clothing, most people start with a shark hoodie. In our collection, the Shark Full Zip Hoodie is available in many camouflage versions: 1st Camo, ABC Camo, Color Camo, Space Camo, as well as in collaboration with Dover Street Market. Alongside hoodies, you will find t-shirts with a large monkey head, sweat shorts and footwear – Bape Sk8 Sta and Adidas Forum 84 Low for the brand's 30th anniversary.
A Bathing Ape sizing is based on Japanese standards and is significantly smaller than European sizing. In practice, most buyers choose a size larger than in brands such as Supreme or Nike. The Shark Hoodie has a fitted cut and a zipper that reaches all the way to the top of the hood, so a hoodie that is too small will restrict movement. BAPE t-shirts are also narrower than typical streetwear t-shirts.
BAPE has been one of the most counterfeited streetwear brands for years. Fakes are betrayed by uneven camouflage patterns, poor shark embroidery and cheap zippers. At Sneakers Depot, every product undergoes Depot Check verification, and customers rate us 4.88/5 based on 180 reviews.
