!∆! CREATIVITY: BAPE BELTS INTO BAPE RINGS & DECISIONS !∆!

CREATING THE BAPE RING OUT OF A BAPE BELT WAS A WISE CREATION. AND BY THE JUDGING OF ALL THE TUMBLRS I SNEAK UPON I FEEL THE BAPE RING IS PROBABLY THE FIRST CREATIVE SIGNATURE THE PEOPLE HAVE SEEN OF MINE. NO STREES, I KNOW THE EARLY M.C.R. FOLLOWERS HAVE BEEN WATCHING ME GROW AND YOU GUYS KNOW WHAT I AM CAPABLE OF. THERE WILL BE SO MANY MORE CREATIONS I WILL HAVE TO OFFER AND TRUST ME THEY'RE WORTH EVERYTHING. I HAVE MADE A DECISION WHERE I WILL BE ABLE TO FINALLY OFFER ALL OF THE "MIND OF COOL RUMORS" CREATIVITY THEY WILL NEVER FORGET. WITH TIME I WILL GRADUALLY BUILD UP THIS PROJECT AND TAKE YOU STEP BY STEP WHEN THE FINAL DECISION HAS BEEN DECIDED.  IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME MIND OF COOL RUMORS. WE'VE FINALLY BEEN CALLED BY THE CREATIVE GODS!

BAPE BELT TRASFORMATION INTO BAPE RING

FOR SOME TIME NOW I HAVE  BEEN WANTING TO MAKE MY BAPE BELT A FOUR FINGER RING.THERE HAS BEEN MUCH SAY THAT I HAVE TO GET A CONTRACT BECAUSE I CAN GET IN TROUBLE MAKING THIS INTO A RING. I FEEL BAPE WOULDN'T CARE AT ALL SO IT'S ONLY RIGHT.I'M CERTAIN THAT I AM GOING TO GO IN ON THIS CREATION. I PRESENTED THIS TO THE SWRV TEAM AND WERE GOING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. THE GOLD IS A LITTLE SCRATCHED BUT IT STILL WORKS FOR ME.  I WILL TAKE YOU STEP BY STEP TO SEE HOW YOU HOW THIS COMES OUT. THE FACT THAT IT'S GOING TO BE USED FOR TWO STYLES HAS ME TRIPPING. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOUR CREATIVITY CAN BRING TO THE TABLE WHEN  YOUR ALWAYS THINKING OF NEW IDEAS. THE PICTURES BELOW ARE NOT PHOTOS OF A FINISHED PRODUCT THERE JUST PICS OF THE BAPE BUCKLE ATTACHED FROM THE BELT. IT ALREADY LOOKS ILL.

BAPE x EXIL ID PART 5.SHORT REASONS LOOKING UP TO NIGO

NO LIES, I  LOOK UP TO NIGO. I KNOW THAT I HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE BUT I FEEL HIS GRIND NEVER STOPS. THERE IS TO MUCH CRAFT FROM HIS LABELS TO PROVE HE SHUTS DOWN THIS CULTURE. IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF THE HYPE OF HIS BRAND BUT BECAUSE OF ALL THE COLLABORATIONS, TV SHOWS,  AND PIECES HE PUTS OUT. IT SEEMS HE NEVER STOPS. IN MY MIND I REALLY WANT TO GET A CHANCE TO WORK WITH EVERYONE I KNOW AND NIGO ACTUALLY DOES THAT, THATS WHY I LOOK UP TO HOMIE. THE SNEAKERS BELOW ARE MY FAVORITE FIGURE OF A BAPE SNEAKER. IT REMINDS ME OF THE SHELLTOP BUT FAR FROM AN ADIDAS SNEAKER. WHEN I FIND MORE INFORMATION ON THIS COLLABORATION I WILL DELIVER TO YOU.  HOMIES TRY TO RE-UP ON THIS ISSUE OF SAMURAI MAG. IT SEEMS SOME EXCLUSIVE BAPE ITEMS ARE INSIDE.



SILLY THING VISUALS: "SILLY BAPE THING"

AFTER PRESENTING ONE OF THE SILLY BAPE THING COLLABORATION TEES I HAVE A VIDEO SILLY THING HAS WORKED ON FOR THE SILL BAPE THING ADVENTURE. THE VIDEO IS DOPE AS THEY SHOW ANIMATIONS MAKING PRINTED SILLY BAPT THING T-SHIRTS.I'M WAITING FOR THESE DROPS TO MAKE AN APPEARANCE TO SELECTIVE BAPE ACCOUNTS OR THE ONLINE BAPE SHOP. I FEEL THIS IS THE REALEST BAPE COLLECTION THAT RELATES TO ME. I AM FOR SURE GOING TO SHOW YOU THE PIECES OF MY "SILLY BAPE THING" COLLECTIONS IF I AM FAST ENOUGH TO GET MY HANDS ON SOME PIECES. DON'T FORGET TO CLICK PLAY ON THE TUBE BELOW.

BAPE X TOYS MCCOY AVIATOR JACKET

PERSONALLY I LABEL MYSELF TO BE A VINTAGE DUDE BUT I DO HAVE FAVORITE BRANDS. "A BAPTHING APE" ARE ONE OF THE BRANDS THAT GRAB MY ATTENTION. NOT SO MUCH BECAUSE OF THE GRAPHIC TEES OR  GRAPHIC JEANS BUT BECAUSE THE HUSTLE NIGO REPRESENTS. BEFORE I PURCHASED MY FIRST BAPE ITEM IN 2009 I RESEARCHED THE BRAND TO IT'S ROOTS. ONE THING ILLMATIC ABOUT BAPE IS THE COLLABORATIONS THEY ARE INVOLVED IN. THERE ARE TO MANY TO MENTION BUT THE MOST RECENT IS WITH "TOYS MCCOY". BAPE HAS TEAMED UP WITH TOYS MCCOY  A VINTAGE JAPANESE COMPANY KNOWN FOR THEIR AMERICAN TOP QUALITY CLOTHING. THE JACKET INVOLVES HINTS OF BAPE CAMO CLOTHING, FUR COLLAR, WITH PATCHES READ AS " BENEATH, ESCAPE, CONQUEST,BATTLE ACROSS THE CHEST. THIS IS GOING TO BE AN ILLMATIC DROP.  I HIGHLY WANT TO PUT MY AFRICAN AMERICAN  "BZ" STEEZE IN THIS COLLABORATION.

ABATHING APE EXCLUSIVE GEAR SOON

THE GOURMETS PROVIDED ARE ITEMS FROM ABATHING APE'S EXCLUSIVES. THE LEATHER BIKER JACKETS IS TOP SHELF  WITH BAPE'S UPCOMING EXCLUSIVES. THE OTHER ITEMS ARE MAD DOPE AS WELL, CAN'T COUNT OUT THE "ABATHING BMX TEAM" LONG SLEEVE SHIRT. ABATHING APE IS MAKING STRONG STATEMENTS REACHING PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT EVEN INTO BRANDS THESE DAYS. THE OTHER DAY MY BROTHER WHO NEVER CARES ABOUT CLOTHES LIKE THAT ASK "WHERE CAN I CATCH UP ON ONE OF THOES SHIRTS WITH THE APE ON IT". NICE TO SEE THINGS GROW ON THE PEOPLE THAT HATED, NOT SAYING THAT IT WAS MY BROTHER. NIGO AND THE ABATHING APE FAMILY IS DOING THERE THING.

ABATHING APE'S A BATHING SUIT

I GUESS NIGO IS WORKING ON A SWIM  COLLECTION . NEEDS TO HURRY IF HE WANTS IT TO HIT FOR THIS SUMMER.

LOOKS FOR ABATHING APE WINTER/2010

GOOD TIMING ABATHING APE. LAST WEEK NIGO AND THE BAPE TEAM PRESENTED THERE LOOKS FOR WINTER/2010 AND THAT FAST WE HAVE THE FIRST ITEMS ON DECK TO BE RELEASED.THE PICTURES PROVIDED ARE THE FIRST DROPS THAT WILL BE OFFERED FOR THERE FIRST WINTER/2010 SHIPMENT. THE BAPE-NATIVE PRINT  ABATHING APE HAS DECIDED TO RELEASE THIS WINTER IS GROWING ON ME AND I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE ITEMS IN PERSON. NIGO AND HIS TEAM HAS ALWAYS DESTROYED THERE COLLECTIONS, MY OPINION. THE PHOTOS PROVIDED ARE FROM THE DEPARTMENTS OF MEN'S BAPE , EXCLUSIVE BAPE, URSUS, AND EVEN WOMEN'S BAPE. ALSO THE DENIM THAT THE GOOD HOMIE NIGO HAS BEEN SPORTING ALOT THAT SOME OF US HAVE MISTAKEN FOR NBHD ARE OFFERED AS WELL IN THESE PHOTOS. I'M STILL WAITING TO SEE THE "BAPE JUMPER" IN ANOTHER LOOK. I'M TRYNNA GO BACK TO ELEMENTRY SCHOOL. THESE ARE GOING TO BE GOOD DROPS.CLICK "READ MORE" TO GET A VIEW OF THE FOUR LINES OFFERD IN THE FIRST SHIPMENT FOR BAPE'S WINTER/2010.

NIGO FOR BAPE FALL/2010

 SNAPS PROVIDED ARE NIGO FOR THE NEW BAPE LINE COMING THIS FALL. IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE THIS GUY NEVER EVER CRACKS A SMILE AND HE HAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST BRANDS OUT THESE DAYS. THIS LINE IS "ILL" TO ME. I USUALLY WOULD POST ABOUT E  FOUR LOOKS A LINE PROVIDES BUT I THINK ALL OF THESE ARE NICE, MY OPINION.DIFFERENT THAN MANY COLLECTION PREVIEWS THIS LINE OFFERS  A PRICE ALONG WITH CLOTHING PUT TOGETHER. I'M GOING BACK TO ELEMENTRY SCHOOL WHEN THIS COLLECTION COMES OUT. I'M FOR SURE GOING TO TRY COPPING UP ON THAT "BAPE JUMPER" ALSO I FEELTHE "BAPEPACK". IT'S SUPER WEIRD IN A GOOD WAY, I SWEAR THIS DUDE NEVER FAILS ON A LINE AND IF HE DOES HE PICKS HIMSELF RIGHT BACK UP. BIG UPS TO NIGO!

ABATHING APE AMBUSHED BY HYPEBEAST: YOON, VERBAL AND NIGO

YOU SHOULD TAKE A LOOK IN THE FEATURE SECTION ON HYPEBEAST TO CHECK OUT YOON, VERBAL, AND NIGO AS THEY EXPLAIN HOW THEY WERE INSPIRED TO MAKE THE "MAD SCINENCE" COLLABORATION. THE TWO BRANDS BAPE AND AMBUSH COMBINE CREATIVITY AND IN MY OPINION CREATE A GREAT COLLABORATION THAT WILL KILL THE  STREETWEAR GAME. IN THE INTERVIEW THEY ALSO CAPTURE WHAT HAS INFLUNCED THE DESIGNS OF AMBUSH AND BAPE TILL THIS DAY. TO READ THIS INTERVIEW CLICK HERE.

ABATHING APE IS AMBUSHED 2ND PEEK

WHOA! I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A LOW DISCUSSED TOPIC IF BROUGHT UP BETWEEN SOME BAPE KIDS. AMBUSH DESIGN AND BAPE ARE COLLABORATING AND IT'S COMING FASTER AND HARDER THAN I THINK THAT WE WERE ALL EXPECTING IT TO COME. THIS SNEAK PEAK OFFERED BY AMBUSH HAS ME NOT WORRYING ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE THAT IS GOING ON IN MY WORLD. POSTED AT 4:00AM I FEEL I'M PROUDLY TO ANNOUNCE THAT I HAVE IT FIRST.( GIVE ME MY PROPS). BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE. THESE SNEAK PEEKS ARE CRAZY . I WANT A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING AND MIGHT I SAY I HAVE TO GET A HALF SHARK-ALLIGATOR PARKA HODDIE IT LOOKS INSANE. NIGO AND THE BAPE FAMILY ARE COOKING UP SO MANY COLLABORATIONS THESE DAYS FROM BOXERS TO CUPS I WONDER WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. WHILE BAPE HAS BEEN ON THEIR GRIND AMBUSH DESIGN ARE SLOWLY CREEPING UP MAKING NOISE IN EVERYWHERE. I FEEL DOWN THE ROAD THEY WILL BECOME A REALLY INTERNATIONAL KNOWN BRAND IF THEY ALREADY HAVEN'T  REACHED THAT POINT.WITH THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THESE TWO (AMBUSH&BAPE) WE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS GOING TO BE SOMETHING STRONG. THE THEME IS SO DARK IT CREEPS YOU UP AND HAS YOU LOOKING AT EVERY LITTLE DETAIL.. THE RINGS, CHAINS, T-SHIRTS, HODDIES, AND  EVEN SHOES ARE ALL DIFFERENT PRODUCTS WE HAVE YET SEEN THUS FAR. ANOTHER THING ON MY MIND LOOKING AT THIS COLLABORATION I THINK HOW NIGO IS THE DJ FOR "TERIYAKI BOYZ" BAND THAT VERBAL TAKES A LEADING ROLE IN. HOMIES ON THE GRIND OVER THERE TAKING TOKYO BY STORM. I JUST HAVE TO SAY LOOK OUT FOR THIS COLLABORATION SAVE, ASK MOM, OR EVEN ROB A DUDE..LOL JOKING. BUT TRY AND GET UP ON THIS IT SHOULD BE A GREAT COLLABORATION.

INSPIRATION IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD ALL TAKE IN AS A GREAT ITEM GIVEN FROM ANOTHER NOT JUST SOME PIECE OF TRASH. THE "HALF SHARK -ALLIGATOR HALF MAN HODDIE" WAS INSPIRED BY THESE TUNES. TAKE A LOOK AND EMBRACE.

WINTER BAPE WHERE THE PRICE AT!

LOL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.  BUT IF I HAD THIS TO ROCK FOR A WINTER JACKET I WOULD BE THE ONLY KID IN CLASS WITH MY JACKET ON AT ALL TIMES. FROM WHAT I'M HEARING IT'S NOT ON USBABPE YET BUT IT'S IN THE BAPE STORES (NO BAPE IN PHILL, THEY'RE STILL DISRESPECTING US PHILADELPHIA PEOPLE!). THE PRICE FOR THIS IS UNKNOWN BUT IT HAS TO BE A GRIP. "BAPE SHOULD HAVE A CHRISTMAS GIVE AWAY" TO THE PEOPLE. JUST A THOUGHT!

BAPE (NIGO) x AMBUSH (VERBAL)

GOOD FRIENDS AND LEADERS OF AMBUSH AND BAPE ARE COMING TOGETHER FOR A SPECIAL COLLABORATION AND I KNOW NO ONE WANTS TO MISS OUT ON THIS.CHECK OUT A SNEAK PEEK VERBAL ROCKS ON A PERFORMANCE WITH ELIZABETH
