Winter is just around the corner so we need to make sure that our cold weather wardrobe is ready. And what better way to keep you warm, cozy and stylish than to stock up on hoodies. If you are a fan of high end street fashion, this is the article for you. We are going to list the best of BAPE hoodies for the upcoming winter season and find out what makes the brand a well known name in street fashion.

A Bathing Ape better known as BAPE was founded in 1993 by Nigo, whose real name is Tomoaki Nagao, in the famous Harajuku district of Tokyo. It quickly became a symbol of eclectic street fashion in Japan. Over time, key players of the modern fashion scene got involved in the business. That’s why Bape was a complete success from the beginning – it is authentic enough, cheerful, wearable and unpolished. By 2010, the brand had ceased to be as popular as the 90s, and Nigo stepped down from the leading position and sold “Bape” to a fashion conglomerate from Hong Kong for 2.8 million dollars. He remained and assisted in the transition for the next two years. Now BAPE is owned by I.T Group and it’s continuing the street fashion domination. The brand also collaborated with famous fashion brands such as Coca Cola, Rimowa, Coach, Comme des Garçons, Supreme, Casio, Adidas and artists such as Kanye West, Biggie Smalls, Pharrell Williams, A$AP Rocky and more.

Bape is known for zip-up sweatshirts, Bapesta sneakers, Baby Milo’s avatar and of course – strong colors! The bape sweatshirt with a zipper has become a status symbol and still represents the authentic aesthetics of street fashion that many new brands are trying to achieve.
