PUMA has introduced its debut collaboration with streetwear brand BAPE also known as A Bathing Ape. The autumn/winter 2015 PUMA x BAPE collection features a fusion of classic streetwear and sports by integrating BAPE’s iconic camouflage print and graphics into PUMA’s sports performance apparel and footwear. Founded in 1993, BAPE has elevated lifestyle streetwear to the highest level, setting trends and influencing musicians and artists around the world. The new collaboration collection has been designed to make a strong statement on streetwear’s heart and soul; sport. By applying its unique design aesthetics to some of PUMA’s most classic and well-known styles, BAPE has created a unique capsule collection. The original 90’s R698 shoes have been given a distinctive re-fresh with BAPE’s black camo design whilst the Disc Blaze has been given an equal camo flash in a classic green camouflage print. The Disc, an icon known for its material play as well as its tech and sporty sole has been merged with BAPE for an all-over design treatment. Designed using the autumn/winter 2015 team replica football jerseys, the FC BAPE Replica Shirts have a camo print in addition to reflective piping on the sleeves for a streetwear edge. The shirts can be coupled with the FC BAPE Replica Shorts in the collection. Utilising archives, the BAPE Long Coat has been inspired by coats which coaches use on the training field and in the dugout on match days whilst the BAPE Training Jacket has an original PUMA X BAPE tape design on the sleeves. The apparel collection is completed by the BAPE Shark Hoodie, based on the iconic and best-selling design from BAPE’s mainline. The range extends to accessories, includes bags and football socks. The BAPE Duffle Bag, constructed from a highly durable polyester body-fabric, offers consumers a performance training silhouette with a streetwear edge as well as BAPE’s iconic camouflage print. The PUMA x BAPE Autumn-Winter collection will be released on November 28 at Selfridges (in-store only), Hanon, End, Foot Patrol and Dover Street Market.
