BAPE, short for A Bathing Ape, is a Japanese streetwear brand founded in 1993 by Nigo (real name Tomoaki Nagao), a fashion designer and DJ with a deep love for American pop culture, hip-hop, and vintage style. The brand name was inspired by the Japanese idiom “a bathing ape in lukewarm water,” symbolizing overindulgence and youth culture. https://www.bapehoodiepoland.com/
