Its hood boasts BAPE’s signature shark motif, accompanied by various patches. Over 11,000 Swarovski crystals entirely embellish the shark motif and patches, transforming the jacket from a typical streetwear item into a sophisticated statement. Furthermore, the collaboration elevates the classic APE Head design on the T-shirt with a luxurious upgrade, featuring a crown crafted from Swarovski crystals.
