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.
