Back in 2002, Stash was invited to the “Tools of the Trade” art exhibition which took place at the Bape Gallery. At that time, these Bape x Recon Spray Can pillows were created for that event and was much sought after. Now, six years later, Recon has re-released these pillows in three colors. Standing at 30 inches in length and 10 inches in diameter, these pillows are now available at the Recon store.
Bape, the ever-expanding empire of Nigo, has just released some news for its New York store. It seems that they are now taking phone orders for their current season collection over the weekends, which is great news for all those people having a hard time getting their hands on anything Bape. The policy remains the same as their in-store policy with no returns, no exchanges, and no refunds. All the orders taken over the weekend will be shipped the next business day. If you’re a Bape fan, this is a good time to start expanding that collection!

Sporty and clean, these will be perfect for the upcoming Summer. Available now at Cliffedge.

With the opening date, April 25th, getting closer and closer, it looks like Bape Store LA is making some progress. Here we show you some teaser pictures of the upcoming store. It seems that the store will be similar in style to the many other Bape stores around the world including their signature Bape camo print in neon lights, the big “Go Ape” sign in the front, and a wall covered with the blue camouflage print. You can also see the conveyor belt around the curved glass wall that usually carries their shoes. This store will definitely be another great addition to the Melrose shopping scene.
