NEW BAPE
A BATHING APE + NEIGHBORHOOD = BROTHERHOOD
0
Japanese clothing companies, Neighborhood and A Bathing APE have teamed up to release a Brotherhood brand. Nigo is long time friends with Shinsuke Takizawa, the founder of Neighborhood so it seems like a good idea for them to team up with this new brand.
Check out below for pictures from the first release of Brotherhood clothing. So far, there is hoodies, t-shirts and some hi-top BAPESTAs. I look forward to seeing else they come up with as time goes on.
A BATHING APE PIRATE STORE
0
Two new ‘A Bathing Ape BAPE Pirate Stores’ have opened in Japan. They have popped up before in the U.S.A. in September and December 2009. They opened a Bathing Ape Pirate Store in Melrose, California during the christmas holidays from December 26th – 30th. And earlier in September, they had opened a Bathing APE Pirate Store in New York City. Obviously, they had great success and are now doing the same in Japan. They also have a BAPE Pirate Store in Kobe, Japan and Kuruizawa, Japan. The stores in U.S.A. were only temporary stores, but I havn’t seen any dates indicating the new stores in Japan will only be temps. I hope they keep them open full-time and then open a full-time Bathing Ape Pirate Store in New York.
Also. they have released a 1 year anniversary shirt for the Bathing Ape Pirate Store with the opening of the two new locations.
I have put together a gallery of the interior photos of the Bathing Ape Pirate Stores. Check them all out below.

A Bathing APE (BAPE) has just released their professional suit line called Mr. BAPE. The release date was March 25th so the store is now open for people to start buying.
