Bape Join Forces With Union LA to Continue 30th Anniversary Celebration

Bape will continue its 30th-anniversary celebration by tapping Union LA for an exclusive streetwear collection for release this December.

Reuniting for the first time since 2021, the two streetwear powerhouses both bring their signature motifs to the table. Bape's famous "APE HEAD" and Union's "FRONTMAN" are ingeniously rearranged to create a novel logo representing both brands' essence. This collaboration combines Bape's "STA" star motif and Union's "FRONTMAN" halo into an exclusive design. The aged and grazed look of the graphics adds a vintage charm, infusing the collection with nostalgia and timelessness.

The collection includes T-shirts available in two versions. The first version features the "APE HEAD" and "FRONTMAN" printed on the front and back, creating a dynamic visual statement. The second version showcases the Union logo and "STA" on the front, complemented by a bold "APE SHALL NEVER KILL APE" slogan on the back. These T-shirts are not just garments; they are a canvas displaying the creative fusion of two streetwear giants.

Adding to the collection is the Coach Jacket, available in two classic colorways: black and khaki. The collaboration logo is tastefully printed on the left chest and back, capturing the collaborative spirit. The jackets boast a contemporary silhouette, offering a modern twist on a classic style.

This limited-edition collection will be available at authorized Bape stores, the bape.com online store, Union LA, and Union Tokyo, starting December 9, 2023.
