AAPE BY *A BATHING APE® launched a new apparel collection in collaboration with League of Legends, the hugely-popular video game first released by Riot Games in 2009 that has gone on to be one of the biggest games on the market and a leader in the world of E-sports.
The collection is split into two concepts. The first is inspired by the ‘True Damage Yasuo Prestige Edition’ which features a gold colour sonte lined with black embroidery. The line-up for the design includes a jacket, T-shirt, cargo pants, belt bag, and sneakers. The jacket, pants, and bag use a golden reflector, while the T-shirt is laced with gold leaf. Additionally, the collection will release alongside the ‘True Damage Yasuo Prestige Edition’ skin.
The second concept is inspired by the DJ dress worn by Yasuo in the True Damage music video. This line-up has an oversized and loose hip-hop vibe to it and includes a pullover hoodie, crew neck sweater, baseball cap, and more.

Famed streetwear brand A BATHING APE® has announced a surprising collaboration with the sci-fi film classic E.T. Academy Award-winning Steven Spielberg directed E.T., and the film made a huge splash when it was released in 1982. The themes of trust, courage, and friendship are timeless and inspiring, and the film has remained popular 40 years later. To celebrate the 40th anniversary, this new collection came into being. The new collection utilizes themes, scenes, and characters from the film. When combined with BAPE®︎’s signature style, fans will find pieces that mix nostalgia and modern street fashion. Which piece is your favorite?
Fans of the film will recognize Elliott riding his bicycle against a backdrop of the moon with E.T. in the basket. The classic line “I’ll be right here” is printed on the upper sleeve of the sweatshirts. The red hoodie is a tribute to Elliot’s outfit in the film. Meanwhile, new items have been released under the BABY MILO®︎ label, with the T-shirt showing Elliott, E.T., and the popular ape character lined up in a row. The print on the back of the T-shirt is glow-in-the-dark, and the long-sleeved T-shirts feature reflective fabric. The team did everything they could to make these items feel as sci-fi as possible, and they are a great way to celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary.
