Fock no, the shit looks ridic and bapestas are a joke. Ever see a kid in full bape? I remember seeing this fat asian kid in full bape outside the store in soho when I was busking electronic music with a car battery a few years ago, and next to him on the ground was a sleeping homeless man. I remember tallying the collective cost of this misguided chunk's outfit.

$2000 plus, maybe?

And a man lay slowly decaying in the bottom rung of poverty not ten feet from him.

THAT, to me, is the essence of Bape. A clown in full regalia that embodies a mutant strain of consumerism demanding such preposterous pricetags I will legit LOL when its garish derivative bullshit happens to cross my path, invariably on the back of some deluded kid working minimum wage in a franchised eatery on the ass end of Queens.

Most of the older posters on Veeky Forums were never able to take bape seriously in the first place, since they were first known for their ridiculous plastic AF1 knockoffs

Nah, Human Made is way nicer and seems more true to NIGO his vision.
