A Bathing Ape Shark Hoody 10th Anniversary | The Style Raconteur

A BATHING APE is celebrating the 10th anniversary of one of its most iconic pieces — the indispensable Shark Hoodie — with a capsule collection featuring a quartet of reissued hoodies. Built with signature full zip detailing that extends to the hood, and adorned with 10th anniversary branding on the left front pocket, the revamped pieces include an all-white and all-black edition with reflective print. All four come in special packaging and feature Swarovski crystals for a distinctively luxe aesthetic. The collection, rounded out by a quartet of matching tees, (surely just to call this an anniversary collection) is scheduled to launch through BAPE’s online store on October 25

At it’s height, BAPE held the crown of streetwear like no other.
