Vintage Bape?

OCTOBER 09, 2007

In the spirit of the Stampd' Sta series I thought I would reflect on a few items of inspiration, i.e. pieces from Bathing Ape. One of my good friends, Ill Town, has a collection of street culture items that i couldn't believe. Things ranging from custom David Flores paintings, to Banksy originals, to vintage Bathing Ape T's. Two things that really caught my eye were both from Bape. The first being, one of the earliest Bathing Ape shirts ever to be printed, personally screened by Nigo. The quality was iffy and blank t was a Hanes!! The next was a collaboration shoe Bape did with Converse, before Nigo realized why collaborate when I can knock off..

Don't worry soon enough you'll be able to cop pieces similar to these through our online store..
