!∆! VINTAGE PHOTOS OF THE BAPE GENERAL HIMSELF "NIGO" !∆!

THE PHOTOS PROVIDED ARE CAPTURES OF A BATHING APE'S GENERAL AND FOUNDER TOMOAKI NAGAO AKA"NIGO". THESE ARE VERY RARE PHOTOS AND I'M TOTALLY SURE NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THESE PICTURES EVER. THE PHOTOS LOOK AS IF THEY WERE TAKEN IN THE EARLY 90'S WHEN THE WHOLE BAPE MOVEMENT STARTED IN THAT SPECIAL BACK ALLEY IN HARAJUKU,TOKYO. WITHIN A FEW PHOTOS YOU'LL SEE NIGO's POWERFUL CREATIVE PARTNER IN CRIME HIROSHI FUJIWARA. NOT TO MANY PEOPLE CAN TELL WHO's  WHO WHEN THEY'RE STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER, IT'S EVEN WORSE IN THESE PHOTOS BECAUSE THE TWO ARE AT A YOUNGER AGE. SOME OF THESE  PHOTOS ARE TAKEN OUT OF MAGAZINE BOOKLETS AND SOME ARE STRAIGHT FROM THE NET. I WONDER WHO CAN TELL THE TWO APART.  AND JUST TO GIVE A HEAVY HEADS UP THE TOP PHOTO IS  A VINTAGE PICTURE OF NIGO.

A BATHING APE SHARK COLLECTION

SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SAY THAT BAPE IS NOT THIS AND NOT THAT. I FEEL IF YOUR ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT WAS INTO THE JAPANESE BRAND BAPE AND COMPLAINS HOW THE BRAND IS NOT GOOD ANYMORE YOU ARE WRONG, DEAD WRONG.  BAPE IS DOING SOME OF IT'S BEST PIECES THESE DAYS AND WITH THIS NEW SHARK COLLECTION THEY HAVE STEPPED THE BAPE GAME UP. THE JACKETS AND HOODIES ARE DOPE WITH THE BAPE CAMO. WITH THIS COLLECTION BAPE GOES BACK TO THE OG COLORS AND THE OG (W)ORLD. (G)ONE. (M)AD COLOR PATCHES. THIS IS A DOPE COLLECTION. IT WOULD BE A GOOD THING IF I COULD GET MY HANDS ON A PIECE FROM THIS NEW SHARK COLLECTION. THESE ITMES ARE IN A BAPE STORE NEAR YOU AS OF NOW.

A BATHING APE CREAM BROWN CLASSIC DOWN WINTER JACKET

IT SEEMS NIGO AND THE A BATHING APE TEAM ALWAYS FINDS WAYS TO MURDER ANY WEATHER SEASON WITH THEIR BAPE PIECES. STARTING NEXT WEEK BAPE WILL HAVE THIS WARM J ACKET IN STORES WIORLD WIDE. THIS JACKET NOT ONLY WILL HAVE YOUR BODY TEMPERTURE FIGHTING THE COLD WEATHER BUT ALSO WILL HAVE YOU KILLING THE SCENE. THERE WERE FOUR COLOR SCHEMS WITH THIS JACKET FROM BAPE BUT IN THE PHOTO ABOVE, THE CREAM BROWN IS WHAT REALLY STANDS OUT TO ME. I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA OF THE PRICE BUT THIS JACKET SEEMS LIKE A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE FOR THE WINTER SEASON COMING ABOUT

TOMOAKI NAGAO

NIGO AS THE OWNER AND CEO OF BAPE IS MAKING A SIGNATURE TEE IN THE PICTURE PROVIDED. I THOUGHT THIS WAS KINDA COOL SO I WANTED TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU GUYS. THERE IS NOTHING I CAN MENTION TO YOU GUYS ABOUT BAPE. WE ALL KNOW WHAT IT IS WHEN IT COMES TO THIS BRAND. BUT WHAT MANY  OF YOU MAY NOT KNOW IS THAT NIGO AKA TOMOAKI NAGAO IS ONE OF THE BEST JAPANSES PRODUCERS AND DJS IN OUR GENERATION. TOMOAKI ALSO IS THE OWNER OF JAPANESE GROUP "TERIYAKI BOYZ" WITH A SIDE OCCUPATION FOR MTV JAPAN.NIGO HAS  HIS OWN SHOW ON MTV JAPAN WITH THE TITLE AS "NIGOLDENEYE". AT THE AGE OF 39 NIGO HAS SO MUCH TO OFEER. I KNOW THERE IS MORE TO COME, I JUST THOUGHT I SHOULD GIVE YOU  A TASTE OF WHAT NIGO HAS OFFERD OUR WORLD .
