The owner of Bathing Ape is a pushy spoiled obnoxious Jap who is all about his money...

 

He put two sucessfull things together,

Converse and AF1s...

and then threw a little "attention craving flamboyancy" on top~ which everyone knows fashionistas eat up

 

He also saw the oppourtunity to exploit ideas coming from NY "T Shirt culture",

 

so he took SSUR (of SSURPLUS') idea of making modified planet of the apes tee's

and took his own fat trust fund , made a big buzz and took off with it..

 

 

When this trend dies out, his ass will just move on to the next capital project..

 

And the story goes...

And P.S.

where're your values at?! Go to china and the first thing you think of buying is clothes?!

What're you a mistress??

I swear....graffiti writers are becoming the new comic book nerds on the real.

No, at least comic book nerds are usually getting some kind of entertaining reading material out of their purchases. This is far worse.

I agree. did they like buy the AF1 model from Nike and get rights to reproduce it or something?

 

 

 

They changed it just enough to avoid copyright violation.

 

Everything BAPE have ever done is a rip off or re-hash of something else. The whole brand is a joke and I feel sorry for people that buy it.

 

I have seriously seen people queue for 36 hour's just to buy a really shitty over-priced jumper.

 

Utter, UTTER cunts.

You would not believe the deals you get out here. You'd have to be a fool to come visit here and not take advantage.
