A Bathing Ape product data

Founded in 1993 by Nigo in the Ura-Harajuku district of Tokyo, A Bathing Ape (BAPE) is a foundational pillar of global streetwear culture. Taking its name from the 1968 film *Planet of the Apes* and a Japanese idiom about overindulgence, the brand pioneered the concept of "hype" through scarcity and exclusive drops. BAPE is renowned for its bold, graphic-heavy aesthetic, characterized by the iconic Ape Head logo, vibrant Cloud Camo patterns, and the full-zip Shark Hoodie that became a hip-hop staple in the 2000s.
