As an oldskool BAPE Head I unfortunately have to say that current BAPE has zero relevance as a streetwear label. It's dead. Currently all IT does is to flogging a dead horse at crazy prices. The excitement and relevance died when Nigo sold his label and moved on and took all the tastemakers with him that used to rock the brand. I still have a certain old man nostalgia, that's why I purchase BAPE collaborations ( for example with Timberland ) from time to time, as the price points are acceptable and not too steep. Personally I feel the only way to re-energize the label would be to appoint another credible Japanese Designer ( for example TET from WTAPS ) to create new, fresh collections.

Tbh as something like a "bapesta head" i like seeing them bringing back nice retro stuff, however I don't want it to be hype, the bape community really still feels like a community, you kinda know each other, you hook each other up often for retail, it's just a god vibe. Not like the core sneaker community and now since it is getting more hype it already feels like more and more idiots, Hypebeasts and resellers coming in. Not those legit resellers that actually have skill that will plug you the og bape shit, those actually have a really important space in the culture. More and more "resellers" that just hit a raffle or something on the Solebox or jjjjound Collab. Or people that just want a airforce1 with flex status. I am really afraid that this might lead to be a hard hit on this space of culture, Hype Sneaker culture feels like parasite that takes a subculture sucks it's blood out and moves to the next xD.

They absolutely should retro more style wise go back to their bread & butter. But the collabs are a slippery slope because their good ones are phenomenal & their bad ones are abysmal. Idk if they have the right people in charge to realize which is good & which is bad because I’m sure those DBZ baby Milo & (insert rapper here) merch tees sell pretty well.(unfortunately)

The new company is online, which gives the consumer a better chance to purchase it. PLUS they drop new items all the time. Hypebeast may hate what Bape is doing now, but they need to survive.

What makes Bape what it is, is its exclusivity and difficulty to reach. I like the fact that only I and a select group of others only have a specific run/line. The best way to kill Bape is to make it available everywhere which will drive down the price and quality and every every every one will have the same thing. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️. I hate when people buy things they don't understand. But then again, maybe this is what they want. Old weirdos have always hated the streets and street ware over ugly docile loafers. Even Nigo didn't understand what he had done and what it had evolved to. It is the first official street luxury line that lived long enough and came at a time where an era that was young that birthed it and embraced it, is now King. As long as rap is King, Bape is and will always be royalty. That is unless it becomes like a crackhead and do anything for a few bucks, i.e. sale to any and everybody as much as they want, when they want. The equivalent of a $2 prostitute. Then no one will want to be caught dead with it.

It needs Nigo in charge or someone who understands and is expressive, artistic, inclusiveness, proactive, reactive, and etc. Someone who is alive and not just living... 2. Remain limited... 3.

Yes very true about Bape's "versatile and aestheticly pleasing motif" :-) It's funny Bape's logo sits in my mind, but never really thought much of it until you mentioned it :-) Being limited, raising quality, and having Lively Creative Director in charge is great plan and vision. Yes Nigo would definitely help revive the brand. Considering he is at Kenzo now, it's interesting that he could later return. But it's also interesting to see how other creatives can take the brand. I guess anyone is up for nomination; for example Pharrell, Tyler the Creator, etc. Continued success and blessings IgobyKal
