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.

Was E.T. a part of your childhood?

Don’t miss out on these special collector’s items!

Japan’s top streetwear brand A BATHING APE is releasing a new collection inspired by Dragon Ball Z! The two first collaborated in 2016 starting with imagery inspired by Son Goku’s childhood. In June 2020, the company released a collection themed around the Cell arc.

Lineup

The newest collection was inspired by the final arc of the series, the Buu Saga, expressed in the style of BABY MILO.

The main characters from the series–Goku, Vegeta, Majin Buu, and Piccolo–are all depicted in BABY MILO style. In addition, characters such as Mr. Satan and Uub appear, perfect for more hardcore fans wanting to see lesser-known characters represented.

The lineup includes a coach jacket and hoodie featuring newly-drawn illustrations inspired by the final episode. Don’t miss this special collaboration!

In September 2018, ten incredibly talented artists came together to celebrate BAPE’s 25th anniversary by designing life-sized BABY MILO sculptures. These pieces of art were put on display at Space O in Omotesando Hills. After four years, those sculptures have been reimagined as eight-inch figures in collaboration with BAIT! (Much easier to display at home, right?) 

The participating artists are SK8THING, mankey, Stash, James Bond, Adam Lister, Michael Lau, Eric Haze, Shepard Fairey, Shinsuke Takizawa, and Nishiyama Tetsu.

A BATHING APE and Stephen Einhorn, a luxury jewelry brand based in London, have teamed up again after 20 years to create two items that clearly express the vision and creativity of both brands. The collection includes both a limited-edition collaboration ring and ‘Fire Garden,’ a unique candle holder.

The Stephen Einhorn x A BATHING APE®︎ Sterling Silver Ring features the BAPE®︎ logo and has a classy ergonomic shape with a 90s feel. Each item is handmade in a London workshop and is made sustainably.

The playful ‘Fire Garden’ candle holder features four monkeys holding their hands up to a flame, representing the discovery of fire. The monkeys and candle can be rearranged freely.

The packaging, developed by Stephen Einhorn, is a sustainable box made of 100% recyclable materials with environmentally friendly ink. The items are now on sale at Bape.com and at select locations in Japan.

A triple collaboration of Medicom Toy’s BE@RBRICK block-type figure, Chogokin, and A BATHING APE’s signature camo will be released on March 12, 2022. The figure will be available at A BATHING APE retailers, BAPE.com, select Medicom toy shops, and select online shops.

The figure is light, and despite being made of alloy, it is completely smooth without screws or protrusions. Customers can snag it in either blue or pink.
