At least an orange card from me.
I'd love a pair of the Super Ape Stars in any colourway (black preferred

) but the rest of the bape stuff I don't really get, the logo is cool and the camo style stuff they do is pretty nice but £100 for a frigging T-Shirt?? Have I got mug written on my head? No.

A lot of their older gear wasn't so garish, and just used the logo in a much simpler and prettier way. The new stuff with patterns and pictures every bloody where is a bit over the top.
I do like those Bape 'Superstars' though...

It's how limited BAPE is. There's only one "plant", and it's in Japan, it ships to the stores though. And I think it's all done by hand. Also, the materials are expensive, like the Bapestas using the patented leather stuff.
And BAPE is a fairly new brand, started in 1993.

It's not expensive making simple clothing on a level that big

He can't post a pic now because he knows he's built it up too much and we are expecting perfection....
