BAPE Shark Sweatshorts Grey

BAPE, known as A Bathing Ape in full, was founded in 1993 by Tomoaki Nagao, also known as Nigo, in Tokyo, Japan. The brand was inspired by American hip-hop fashion, and Nigo wanted to create a unique blend of Japanese and Western influences. The brand's first store opened in 1995, and it quickly gained a reputation leading to its expansion.

One of the most recognizable features of BAPE is its ape logo, which can be seen on items like the BAPE College Tee Black. Other distinctive elements of the brand's style include camouflage prints, bright colors, and bold patterns. The brand's influence on fashion and street culture cannot be denied, and it continues to become a major player in the world of luxury streetwear.
