Bape Camo

Japanese brand, A Bathing Ape, might as well be known as one of the leaders of streetwear culture. They have witnessed trends come and go, and have been hyped by many hip-hop celebrities. When it comes to camo, Bape was one of the first to put it on the mainstream. From their signature Ape logo embedded into the pattern to their wide array of colored camo. The world wasn’t quite ready for an explosion of pink and purple camo though. But we can’t hate on the super-brand for putting its camo pattern on everything from cars, to notebooks, and even tissue boxes. They got everything covered, literally.
