A BATHING APE(R), which was founded in 1993 and has been a leader in the street scene for 27 years, and READYMADE, which launched in 2013 and has gained support from many artists and celebrities, now has fans all over the world, will be releasing collaboration items on February 27, 2021.

This long-awaited second collaboration, following the first release in 2017 which quickly sold out, will release a total of five items. The 3 PACK TEE, which has been the subject of various collaborations in the past, uses a completely original READYMADE body. The READYMADE logo printed on the back incorporates BAPE®'s signature camo pattern.

The T-shirt also features an impressive SHARK design created by READYMADE designer Yuta Hosokawa specifically for this collaboration. The L/S T-shirt features an APE HEAD in a graphic exclusive to this collaboration, with both brands' logos printed on the arm. Also available are a ZIP hoodie and shorts featuring the ever-popular SHARK motif. The ZIP hoodie features the message "destruction is also creation," and each item is a special masterpiece packed with the attention to detail of both brands.

This collaboration product will be available from February 27, 2021. The 3-PACK TEE will be available at authorized READYMADE retailers and BAPE STORE® locations, while the other four items will be available at authorized A BATHING APE® retailers and the BAPE.COM web store.

ABOUT "READYMADE"
Launched in 2013 by designer Yuta Hosokawa. The brand name READYMADE embodies an antithesis to ready-made products. The brand recycles materials that would otherwise be discarded as unnecessary, giving them new life. The vintage military fabrics that the brand has used since its inception convey an anti-war message, while also conveying a message from the designer against mass production by giving new value to disposable duffel bags and tents.
