"Few brands embody the cross-section of fashion and music quite like A BATHING APE® and 88rising. To celebrate the music collective's 10th anniversary, the two cultural powerhouses have come together for the 88rising x BAPE® 10 Years of 88 Collection - a full-scale collaboration that includes an exclusive capsule and a mixtape designed to honor a decade of fearless creativity. It's not just a drop; it's a cultural marker that ties together subcultures, sounds, and style into one electrified package."
"The 88rising x BAPE® collection leans into 90s and 2000s streetwear nostalgia while filtering it through a modern lens. The design language draws directly from 88rising founder Sean Miyashiro's upbringing in Cupertino, California, and the subcultural shifts that defined that era. BAPE's signature silhouettes - Shark Hoodies, tracksuits, tees, BAPE STA ™, and SHARK STA styles - are all here, but they've been reworked with dusk-to-dark tones and glow-in-the-dark accents that channel the after-hours energy of DIY mixtape culture."
"The collaboration marks the first time 88rising has partnered with BAPE®, and for the campaign, the label tapped artists Rich Brian and no na to front the lookbook. It's also a milestone moment for 88rising's Indonesian girl group, who make their debut in a global fashion campaign here. The casting choice signals a generational shift in how music and fashion intertwine - artists don't just wear the clothes; they become the canvas for the cultural story."
