I've never seen so much EVISU and BAPESTA in my LIFE.

everyone had on the same outfit - white, black, asian, hip-hop, punker, etc..

EVISU.

BAPESTAs.

Please daddy, make 'em stop.

it shows honestly how people do not have their own identities. they look for celebs and what not to define their style, what do you guys think. big ups to evisu and bape for starting those trends they are brilliant

[hifashion]

i notice that with most lines, they are thriving in the beginning, they get a customer hooked and then from there it is downhill on quality. but people (most people) do not realize that. people are all about names, you could show them a super high quality shirt with cool design and all and then put a bathing ape next too it and may not have the same quality and they pick a bathing ape, b/c of brainwashing. they go with the name always, unless you are a leader and will take the chance on trying something new

[superposition]

but then again when you own a business like this, you know you rule when you're at par with Bape/Evisu. When you're able to minimize all costs, you get even more $$. but then again, i dont think they'll last very long. they're just at their peak at the moment.

Japanese lines are running the high end hiphop fashion world now. You got to figure that this is "exotic" for hiphop heads and as usuall they all fall in line once a celebrity wears it. I think BAPE f'd up with opening a store in the US. Exclusivity is eveything and they lost it totally.

It's funny you mention that, I was in the Bape store last wekend and saw all types of people I never would think rock bape! People were trying on wrist bands and shit! What the fuk? one dude looked like he came straight from wall street with a suit and came downstairs with Bapestas on his feet. I miss the days shit was much harder to get, like when I use to travel to cali and pump my 98.7 Kiss FM Red Alert shit, and rock champion hoodies, and niggas was buggin' because they never heard or saw shit like that shit before! Now, its like legos, mass market of fukin hip hop gear, music, skate, urbanoutfitters, punk, all mixed into one. And if you think about it, everyone here in NY wants to stand out and shine, but they all look like fukin' clones! Its was only a matter of time that Bape and Evisu would fall into that category...What a fukin shame

[Kofi]

The trend is just a way for hiphop heads to incorporate the "dressed up look" Jay-Z promoted but still loose fitting gear.

You have to figure that japanese brands mix the hiphop feel with the slight european cut which makes for a less baggy fit. Clones are clones and Jay-Z/Snoop/50 cent etc. set the standards.

50 dont rock BAPE/evisu though, he dons his own g-unit line, doesnt he? it's the young wannabe like omarion and fabolous that rock them bapesta

[I J F]

Jermaine Dupri had been rockin Bapesta`s for a while same with Fat Joe, and then of course you have Pharell whos been rockin it in his videos for who knows how long, but that alone, should indicate that we shouldnt even waste our time talking about it on Superfuture anymore, just played!!!!

KING STAMPEDE was at magic.

[pete leonard]

and for the record, i saw bapestas being sold on the street at Fulton mall last sunday. i don't know if they were knock offs or not.

[JUPAFETT]

THE BEST PART ABOUT THAT STEE BOBBY IS THAT YOU KNOW ALL OF IT WAS FAKE. SURE THERE WERE SOME REAL PIECES BUT THE MAJORITY WAS BOOTLEG.

SHIT IS WACK
