Reinventing the Iconic Camo Pattern
At the core of the collection are two new camouflage designs by Kuraishi.DIGITAL ABC CAMO reinterprets BAPE®’s classic “ABC CAMO” in a pixelated form while integrating the iconic green hues of 1ST CAMO.

Meanwhile, UAP CAMO (Universal Ape Pattern CAMO) embeds the APE HEAD, “Foot Soldiers” logos, and BAPE® typography in a subtle, intricate composition.Both patterns carry forward the spirit of Kuraishi’s early creative roots at BAPE® from 25 years ago—revitalized through contemporary aesthetics and material innovation.

Outerwear that Marries Form and Function
The first drop, arriving in November, introduces detachable jackets and reversible downs in DIGITAL ABC CAMO, multi-patch shirts, updated Shark hoodies, and tactical pants that balance style and performance.The collection also features daypacks, coach jackets, fleece, knits, and graphic tees—building toward the December release focused on snowboard-ready gear.
