Don Crawley—best known across the globe as simply "DON C"—has been a pivotal connection between street fashion and Japan for decades. A longtime fan of A BATHING APE®, the Chicago-native has worked with NIGO's former empire on multiple occasions. For his latest project, the multi-hyphenate is reimagining classic basketball gear through the lens of his JUST DON imprint.
Unveiled ahead of NBA All-Star Weekend, the multi-item BAPE® collection sees sports-inspired apparel given the elevated DON C-treatment. The color palette is kept refined, favoring shades of blue—navy and teal to be exact. Signature BAPE® iconography is also reworked to fit into the JUST DON universe, showcasing a playful conversation between creative and established streetwear pioneer.


Street-approved hooded sweaters with BABY MILO® imagery accompany snap-closure warm up suits like those Michael Jordan wore during his early encounters against the "Showtime" Los Angeles Lakers. Graphic t-shirts and mesh shorts round out the apparel selection.
As has been the case with other thematic BAPE® capsules, JUST DON's offers new takes on the BAPE STA™.
Enjoy a closer-look at the collection ahead. Items will be available at BAPE STORE® CHICAGO (113 E Oak St) on Thursday, Feb. 12. A BAPE STORE® LOS ANGELES (8810 Melrose Ave) and US.BAPE.COM launch takes place on Saturday, Feb. 14.
If you miss out on the drop, you can search StockX and KICKS CREW for after-market availability.
