With Bape having been sold to I.T, BBC finds a new owner in Jay Z. What do you guys think about the acquisition seeing that it is now going to be managed under Rocawear?

I doubt anything will change...... Sk8Thing has been the designer for a while now, so I doubt that'll change...... However the marketing and distribution will probably open up. Pharrell wants his brand to be a high end luxury clothing and with Jay=Z's power, I can imagine some flagship stores coming to SF, LA, NYC. I really think Jay-Z is only it for the expansion of the brand, taking it to places Pharrell couldn't take it.

Definitely ads some momentum behind a lagging brand. Expect to see brick/mortar stores, possibly even at high-end malls.
