Bathing ape

Few people can make naomi nagao change his mind. At least since bathing apes became popular, every dress has the symbol of ape head, which not only ensures the quality of clothes, but also makes a lot of hipsters pursue it. Even the recent hot Bape ×Kaws series, cuffs are also indispensable to the traditional Logo of the ape-man. However, there are always exceptions. Although the common ape head logo appears in all kinds of clothes, Nao Tomomi, the "bathing ape", may like the "Mr. Ape" logo with his back combed.

There is a reason for this. I remember that about two years ago, the neighborhood and the bathing ape jointly launched a limited edition Tee. At that time, Tee cuff used this' Mr. Ape' Logo. If you want to ask about the influence of the neighborhood, take a look at the long queue of Harajuku store in Japan's neighborhood every weekend, which is even worse than the busy workshop across the street. Now a Tee named Bape ×SKATETHING has officially arrived. After observing the cuff position, the once-disappeared' Mr. Ape Man' logo reappeared. Let's take a look at the true face of this mysterious guest:

At present, the prices of several Bape ×SKATETHING Tee that have appeared on Ebay are as high as 100 USD. Tee's pattern has also been changed from Bape's Great Ape or donkey kong logo to a series of patterns endowed with American street sign style, paying more attention to the expression of words and patterns, which is definitely a rare classic in BathingApe series.

From the four different T-shirts that appear now, we can see the sincerity of Changwei Zhiming's cooperation with SKATETHING this time. Not only did TEE's physical structure begin to change, but it seems that bathing apes should also be fully integrated into the style of American street signs. There are other tee styles in different colors for you to choose from.

At this point, we must thank SKATETHING for his intervention. Although many people know Nago Tomomi, few people know skateboarding. We can learn a lot of little-known secrets from the interview with Nago Tomomi by MSN in Japan:

First of all, the brand of a bathing ape is run by Nagao Zhiming and SKATETHING, and they both like the movie Planet of the Apes very much, so everyone thinks that they have a lot of fate with Planet of the Apes. Secondly, the brand name of the bathing ape was actually not invented by Nao Tomomi, but SKATETHING.

One night a long time ago, when Tomomi Nago and SKATETHING were discussing problems in the office, they suddenly wanted to create a brand, which became the Logo and name of the ape-man head. As for why SKATETHING chose this name at that time, it is still a mystery. Some people interpret it as "an ape bathing in hot water" to satirize young people who are relaxing and living like hot springs. Although Nao Zhiming now meets SKATETHING every day, it seems that they have never faced up to this problem.

SKATETHING, whose real name is Junichiro Nakamura, is one of the important figures in the development of Harajuku culture in Japan. He has never appeared in public and is extremely low-key.

Now, let's review the ten-year development history of this Japanese street sign, 1993-2003, and the classic products of 10.

1993- 1995 attaches importance to the trademark brand of nigovv. APE was founded in 1993, and the brand of cooperation between NIGO FV and JONIO, which produces coats, was born half a year later. The official name is the bathing ape in LUKEWATER (meaning an ape-man with a quiet life and no domineering and desire). Take the movie Planet of the Apes as the theme, with underground and avant-garde images as the center. On the other hand, it is also an important feature of NIGO to release personality and attach importance to the picture decoration between partners!

1996~ 1999 black elements are injected into ape-man camouflage to create miracles!

After 1996, with the change of environment, streets as a culture began to be recognized by people. With the increase of people's attention, APE has become a hot topic and has successfully entered the British and Hong Kong markets. 1998, Kimura appeared in his advertisement with the JKT series of ape-man camouflage, and the popularity of ape-man doubled, spreading throughout Japan.

From 2000 to 2002, we took a limited route, and new styles were released in Qingshan one after another.

1998-99, APE founded the "Busy Shop" direct sales, and since it moved to Qingshan in 2000, it has started to introduce several styles that restrict sales. Moreover, in the summer of that year, the baby intermediate color series was launched, which was supported by women and the number of fans increased greatly. The following year's military uniform show, exhibition hall in 2002, fashion show and a series of expansion activities showed APE from many angles. I believe that the charm of APE brand will attract countless loyal fans in the future!
