Japanese streetwear pioneers, BAPE have decided to add on to their range of sub-lines which include Mr. Bathing Ape and AAPE, now teaming up with former pro skater Yoshifumi “Yoppi” Egawa and his brand Hombre Niño’s to introduce us to their latest project, A SKATING APE. Being that BAPE has always had a skateboarding influence, it was only right for the brand to do a line exclusively for the skaters, still keeping their signature fashionable look but designing the pieces durable for action sports uses. The line gives us a preview of their first official product, a black/red checkered cycling jacket, featuring some custom detailing and their new APE head skate logo.
There is no official release date as of yet on the A SKATING APE by BAPE collection, but we will keep you posted.
