BAPE STA BAPE STORE LA 5TH ANNIV. MENS

 BAPE, short for A Bathing Ape, is a Japanese streetwear brand founded in 1993 by Nigo (Tomoaki Nagao) in the Harajuku district of Tokyo. Known for its bold designs, vibrant colors, and signature camouflage patterns, BAPE quickly became a global icon in urban fashion. The brand’s logo — featuring the image of an ape — draws inspiration from the film Planet of the Apes and symbolizes individuality and rebellion against conformity.

Over the years, BAPE has collaborated with major brands and artists such as Nike, Adidas, Pharrell Williams, and Supreme, further solidifying its status in both streetwear and pop culture. Its highly sought-after pieces — including Bapesta sneakers, Shark Hoodies, and graphic tees — often release in limited quantities, driving high demand among collectors and fashion enthusiasts. Today, BAPE remains a leading force in contemporary streetwear, blending Japanese creativity with global influence.

 On our site you will see the word stokc many times, no this is not a typo. Stokc is a term we use to refer to items held in a suppliers warehouse and not at our main storage space. This means most stokc items may come quicker than typical items tho this is not always the case.

Stock just refers to the items held at ShoeVault HQ in Chicago Illinois.
