AAPE has unveiled its Fall/Winter 2026 campaign, enlisting rising four-member K-pop group LNGSHOT to front the season. Launched by MORE VISION, the label founded by Korean singer-producer Jay Park, the group brings its distinctive musical identity and attitude to the campaign, channeling AAPE’s rebellious streetwear ethos across the latest collection.

The campaign is divided between the “Street Drift” and “Underground” lines. Rooted in skate culture and the rhythm of city life, “Street Drift” combines sportswear and workwear influences through versatile, layered silhouettes. Graffiti-inspired artwork, splash ink graphics and subway-inspired motifs appear across gradient camouflage jerseys, hooded workwear jackets, utility vests and washed camouflage denim. Jacquard denim and waffle knits bring additional texture, while powder blue, yellow and purple are accented by royal blue and light grey throughout the range.

Turning toward a rawer subcultural aesthetic, “Underground” draws from hip-hop culture, experimental design and the nostalgic visuals of 1980s horror films. A newly developed tiger-stripe camouflage forms the collection’s visual foundation, complemented by retro horror zombie graphics, barbed wire motifs and Trompe-l’œil prints. Key pieces include a wrestling mask hoodie, detachable work pants, 3D-cut denim and a CWU-45P military flight jacket, finished with vintage washes and DIY-inspired patchwork for an intentionally distressed, high-impact look.

The AAPE FW26 collection is now rolling out at select physical stores and the brand’s official online store.
