BAPE – RAKUTEN EAGLES NEW PRODUCT RELEASE

You might not know this, but Japan loves baseball. It is not a new fad either, Japanese have enjoyed baseball as a sport and past time for a long time. In fact, I think that the sport still holds more popularity in Japan then it does in North America. So it isn’t really a big shock that BAPE has teamed up with a Japanese baseball team, the Rakuten Eagles. I am not sure what made then decide to go with that team only so I am going to go out on a limb and say that it is Nigo’s favourite Japanese baseball team (mine too!).
I am happy to mention that BAPE and Rakuten Eagles have come out with a pretty good amount of products with the latest release. I think so far, the BAPE / Sanrio team up has been the largest amount of items released for a collaboration effort with A Bathing Ape but this is definitely a close second.

BAPE has opened a new store in Seoul South Korea. This is good news for Koreans, as they will no longer have to fly/boat to Japan or drive to China to get their hands on authentic BAPE products. Maybe one day, a BAPE store will open in Canada.

A BATHING APE / SANRIO BABY MILO STORE

BAPE is on a roll this year for collaborations with other companies. I think this is a good idea on BAPE’s part because it creates additional unique styles which the brand wouldn’t have been able to do prior. This time around, it looks like they have teamed up with San Rio the creators of Hello Kitty. I can’t say that I’m a fan of Hello Kitty but I am sure that this line of items is going to sell well with women. The current selection of womens clothing from BAPE is pretty lacking which is unfortunate for all our feminin friends. One thing I am surprised about with the BAPE San Rio release is the ammount of different items they have. They went all out! There is t-shirts, hoodies, pants, skirts, baby bibs, baby one piece sleep suits, shopping bags, shoes, neck ties, necklaces, wrist watches, coffee mugs, hand towels, food place mats, wallets, purses, duffle bags and a hat. That is a lot of stuff!
One thing which I think is really cool is the baby shoe BAPESTAs. I also learned something new, apparently SANRIO has 5 other characters aside from Hello Kitty, apparently they are not cool enough to make it big. Also, anyone else notice the subliminal perverted star over the girl characters crotch? WTF!?!? Why couldn’t she be holding the star wand in her other hand so it is covering over nothing? I think the marketing industry is full of pervs as you see stuff like this in adds all the time. It is like an industry inside joke or something (Disney does stuff like that all the time).
Check out the rest of the collection in the pictures below, it is pretty extensive.
