Anyone know where I can buy A Bathing Ape stuff online?

its not as big as most people think. Aparently what my friends in japan were telling me all the trend kids in shinjuku/tokyo and such don't wear bape, it's all the suburban kids. But yeah, i think its pretty overhyped in the states because of pharell and jayz.Originally posted by Christopher31@May 10th, 2004 - 1:30 am
Yea. I heard that too, LOL.
People in Japan are crazy over this stuff, at least they used to be. The stuff doesn't look that special to me.

I just read an interview with the designer of Bathing Ape in Vman. He seemed so shallow and vain. The stuff they showed looked boring. Is it really that popular???
One of his comments was that he hopes he never gets bored with consuming things, because there is nothing else to do in Tokyo.

Is this 'Nigo'? - he's a strange fellow...I'm not a fan of his either...I suspect there may be an ironic element to his avowal of consumerism though...it's all very pretentious in a very 'street' kind of a way.
I was looking up Bape t'other day and found loads of sites selling it but I've forgotten them all...I'll try and find them in my web history...

yeah this guy does seem to be a bit pretentious... i have two of their t-shirts but they're a bit young looking for me at this point, i like Bape sneakers though.
LOL Nigo does seem to be capitalizing on the sheep-like mentality of the lost youth though...that collaboration he did with Pharrell, Billionaire Boys Club has some of the most overpriced generic clothing ever ($60 for a t-shirt that has nothing but the brand logo printed on it, not good quality cotton or anything). That's a cool name though, "Billionaire Boys Club"
