it is harder to tell now that the factory second bapes came out. When bapes are made they are made in china. Foot soldiers put a tag on them and it is just a regular tag(looks identical to the fake). Then when they are shipped to japan to the actual bape factory the tags are taken off and a new foot soldiers tag is put on and the patient is too. Also on the new bapes a gold ape tag is put on them. The factory second tags are not always changed out. Some of the factory second bapes have the original tags on them and dont have the patient on them. The way to tell if there real or not is to check the star and the writing and to check the box price and box symbols. Archived are the same because back in the day bapes weren’t fake.

Bape, BBC & and IC are all overated…only reason they seem to be hot because of japan & china’s lust for collecting simple junk….I feel that no japanese or other wise designers should be able to call thier lines URBAN period..where were they in 1979 when heads was B-boying and tagging and going all city? Nowhere!!! They are fashion followers and secular lifestyle brands…anyways…shout out to real heads puttin it down…all the rest are Toys.

By the way standing in line is a waste of time, I would rather be in a meeting closing a deal off then be bothered by that I mean thats why you hire a PA to fetch things for you isn’t it?

all those dudes lined up are straight up nerds….bapes been dead for years now…

I was there..lemme just give you guys the run down.

And Bape is still worn in New York as you can see..

The lines were 3 blocks..doubled supremes line.

And there were shoes for years!!..like tons ….of shoes…shirts sold out….nice varsity jackets and coats….accesories.

Oh yeah..everything was half off..and i got there at 11 and was at the door till 3:30..so yeah…the lines was moving at minimum speed.

Their not re-stocking just bringing back stuff…so im guessing that the stuff that are sold today wont be coming back but new stuff ..from previous seasons will be availible.

who the fuck said people don’t wear Bape anymore in new york city?????
i love how people formulate an opinion and then post a comment on here as if it represents the opinions of all people in their city. Some douche bag said ‘no one wears bape in nyc anymore’ in a previous post not worth finding.
Obviously this hype beast article right here proves you wrong douche bag!!!!!!
