BAPE BLACK debuted in 2015 as the high-end diffusion line of Japan-born street brand A BATHING APE, founded by NIGO in Tokyo’s Ura-Harajuku in 1993. Centered on black, it distances itself from BAPE’s signature expressions while offering apparel and accessories made with premium materials and artisanal craftsmanship, as well as a jewelry collection in 925 sterling silver.

BAPE BLACK® utilizes its namesake color to redefine the essence of urban luxury.
