BAPE BLACK Unveils Biker-Inspired SS21 Collection

The high-end extension of A Bathing Ape, BAPE BLACK manifests its designs beyond fashion. For its latest Spring/Summer 2021 collection, the brand combines premium materials with intricate artisanal craftsmanship for a unique take on vintage silhouettes and lifestyle products built for a contemporary audience.

Adopting a biker-inspired aesthetic, the collection envisions cruises down Sunset Boulevard in a convoy of choppers. From paisley prints creeping from the ripped denim to Harley Davidson-inspired graphics and leather rider jackets that complement engraved rings and bracelets, the theme is present in small aspects of every detail. This season, BAPE BLACK reintroduces the iconic Mad Face logo which adorns the T-shirts, shirts and even biker bolo-ties. Standout pieces include a full-length trench coat with patterned pleats, paisley shirt and bandana-attached jeans.
