BAPEhas united again withmastermind JAPANfor the 16th time, unveiling a new capsule centered on a 'Tropical Skull Camo' theme. For this project,NIGO's ubiquitous streetwear label andMasaaki Homma's brand synthesize a new visual identity, juxtaposing BAPE's playful camouflages and mastermind's distinct dark aesthetic. Leading the collection is a Tropical Skull Camo summer set comprising a camp collar button-up and a pair of matching shorts. The pattern covers the entire set, showing a backdrop of greyscale tropical foliage, embedded with mastermind's skull and crossbones, and BAPE's signature gorilla icon.

Graphic basics are elevated with unconventional laces at the hem and adorned with tonal black graphics that appear in a subtle shine. Other tees and trousers are finished with an acid wash, giving the garment's lived-in quality. The artwork varies from piece to piece, with one graphic overlapping BAPE's star logo with a skull beneath, and others separating the motifs to different panels of the garment.

BAPE Unveils Fall/Winter 2025 Collection, "Connect with People"
Summary BAPEhas introduced itsFall/Winter 2025collection 'Connect with People,' aiming to re-emphasize the value of presence through fashion, creativity and community. Rooted in its signature DNA of bold camo and fearless prints, this collection redefines connection for a new era. It channels three influential forces: Music, Sports and Art, which BAPE sees as the rhythms that move the world and the essence of self-expression. The collection features a vibrant campaign with an eclectic mix of creatives, including rappers, DJs and skateboarders, uniting them in a cultural disruption within 'BAPELAND'. The FW25 collection draws energy from the early 2000s, incorporating bold color palettes, graffiti-inspired graphics and iconic tree patterns. Two prominent camos, Tree Edge Camo and Art Camo, anchor the collection, alongside sport-inspired pieces that feature the striking Wild Leopard Pattern. While the Tree Edge Camo design honors the storytelling of hip-hop culture in the '90s and '00s, Art Camo takes inspiration from pop culture and street era. The Wild Leopard Pattern, on the other hand, is a reinterpretation of vintage sportswear. The 'ART' pillar pays tribute to Japanese craftsmanship with the debut of Cloud Camo, a new pattern crafted from indigo-dyed denim and traditional Sashiko stitching. Cloud Camo's Karakusa-inspired motif is merged with BAPE's signature camo aesthetic, resulting in a harmonious design fusing cultural legacy and contemporary expression. Check out the lookbook above. BAPE's FW25 collection will launch globally on July 5, at BAPE STORE locations and online via theBAPE webstore.

BAPE & Helinox Reunite for CAMO Outdoor Furniture & Special-Edition Shark Hoodie
BAPEhas partnered withHelinoxfor the outdoor gear manufacturer's 15th anniversary, unveiling a special collection comprised of camouflage-covered, packable furniture and a Helinox blue Shark Hoodie. Known for its lightweight yet strong and flexible aluminum alloy products, Helinox's chairs and tables are functionally designed for foldability and portability. BAPE leaves the engineering to Helinox's experts, bringing its recognizable CAMO print to the suspended materials in twochairmodels, a bench, and a side table. Unlike the partners'first collaboration in 2023, which centered on a plain brown camouflage, BAPE's original green 'CAMO' spotlights the beloved ape's head motif. Helinox's flagship Chair One features a comfortable suspended seat structure, a breathable backrest with mesh panels, and sturdy legs with a strong grip. Additionally, the Chair One Mini offers a more compact version of the original, suitable for children. Elsewhere, the two-seater bench continues the suspended engineering in a camping-cot-inspired form, and the Table One serves as an on-the-go surface complete with two cup-holders. Each piece comes with a matching storage bag, complete with dual logos. Finally, Helinox puts its own spin on BAPE's motif, casting the 'Shark Full Zip Hoodie' in the brand's distinct blue hue. The 15th anniversary BAPE x Helinox collection will be available on Saturday, June 14 at select BAPE stores, theBAPE webstore, and theHelinox web store.
