A BATHING APE® has been involved in a number of big-name collaborations in recent years alone, including COACH and NEW BALANCE.
From them comes another capsule collection that is too gorgeous to be true. The partner is "Timberland," which has been enjoying renewed popularity in the street scene in recent years.
BAPE® X TIMBERLAND THREE EYE CLASSIC LUG ¥20,900
BAPE® X TIMBERLAND CHUKKA BOOTS ¥22,000
The lineup includes two models based on the "Three Eye Classic Rug" and "Premium Waterproof Chukka Boots," Timberland's permanent staples. The main material used is "Better Leather," which can only be produced by certain tanneries that are recognized for their environmental friendliness. In addition, the boots are made from a sustainable perspective, using a number of recycled materials.
The most eye-catching feature is the design. The familiar silhouette and colors are retained, while "BAPE® Original CAMO" is printed across the entire upper. The special arrangement unique to this collaboration stands out, blending the "uniqueness" of the two without any sense of discomfort.
A look at the collection was also released prior to its release. The look was shot on an unusual set, a video game machine surrounded by nature, to express the playful appeal typical of "Abasing Ape®" and the clean future that "Timberland" is aiming for. The collaboration, which is at home in both work and street styles, will go on sale on Saturday, August 21.
