I had to wiki bape.

 

It turns out it's a clothing company founded by a Japanese guy in 93'.

 

But what exactly did your father get? They sell hats, shirts, pants, shoes, and luggage.

whats a bathin apes/bape

 

It is a label started by a guy named Nigo. Originally, he designed clothes for the underground and wanted it to be underground so that it won't be worn by many. Later, the demand got so high that he made it public but priced them really high. US rappers are sporting his gear and the first hip hop celebrity who actually made the name "BIG" in the US is Pharrell and Chad from the group NERDS. Pharrell collaborated with Nigo to come up with Ice Cream (you can see these at foot locker or other shoe joints with a picture of a ice cream on a cone with a face on it). There is also BBC, as Clio mentioned. BBC stands for billionaire boys club. Bape is another word for bathing ape - B for Batihing and ape for ape = B'ape = BAPE.

 

Here are pictures of Nigo

I knew they were expensvie, but the hoodie and belt threw me off man!!!

Dad already packed them up in his hazmat bag so i'm not gonna screw with that stuff.

I should be able to snag a pic of the box if anyone really wants lol. They're boots, I was really surprised they were Bapes.

50-year old man with a chain! SWEET! lol.

dad's bapes are tactical boots so not as cool as fancy bapes.

Youre buying a fape and over paying for that matter. Don't be fooled. 1st sign is the price. If they're cheap, they're fape (fake bape). Real bape hoodies, brand new, cost around $200+, have medal zipper, and the zipper has the word bape on the front and YYK on the back (YYK or YKK, i can't remember). You can also tell by the label too. You can search youtube to tell bape from fape - there are tons of vids on it.

 

UNLESS you want to rock the fake stuff, be my guest. It cost to be the boss :thumbsup:
