Just when we thought A Bathing Ape has peaked, Nigo and company decided to drop the new designs for Autumn/Winter 2006 in Japan. The launch was accompanied by a multi camo Bape X, t-shirts, neon camo shorts and matching shirt and the debut of the new black camo colorway. We should expect some real nice hoodies from Bape such as the more familiar “Shark Hoodie” and different camo combinations. We might also see the “Roadstas” hit Busy Work Shops sometime soon. Stay tuned as we watch Bape take street culture to the next level.

Acclaimed San Francisco artist Jeremy Fish, also known in the sneaker community for his collaboration with Nike SB for his version of the Nike Air Classic SB, has teamed up with Def Jux Artist Aesop Rock to create a “children’s book that’s not for kids.”
Upper Playground is proud to present: “The Next Best Thing”, a short story about the creative process by Aesop Rock and Jeremy Fish. This 24 page book comes with a 7 inch picture disk that coincides with each page of the book (ie: old school style kid’s books with records for those born pre 1979!). Jeremy Fish and Aesop Rock were brought together by a common infatuation with themarvel-of-modern-science known as the “one-cup coffee maker.” They soon learned that two creative types can do an extraordinary amount of complaining regarding their respective involvement in “the arts” over a properly constructed patty melt. Indeed, within minutes, optimistic almost-young gentlemen can morph into jaded, bickering, grumpy old men.
