BAPE NYC Drops Special MTA MetroCards to Celebrate 15th Anniversary

BAPE‘s New York City outpost is celebrating its 15th anniversary in style with a special collaborative MTA MetroCard. BAPE announced the surprise drop via its Instagram Stories, and soon fans were sharing their haul all over social media.

The commemorative MetroCards, which only work for NYC’s subway lines, is dressed in BAPE’s ubiquitous camo in grey and purple, a print that’s only associated with the streetwear stalwart’s NY locale. @NYCTSubway also shared the news via Twitter and revealed which MetroCard Vending Machines (MVMs) and station booths will be selling the promotional cards. The six locations are: Broadway-Lafayette Street (B,D,F,M), Bleeker Street (6), Spring Street (6), Prince Street (R,W), Spring Street (C,E), and Canal Street (A,C,E). The promotion will run for six weeks, while supplies last of course.

The last time the MTA caused a frenzy over its MetroCard was when it teamed up with Supreme back in February of 2017.
