The latest KidSuper x BAPE collection explored

The KidSuper x BAPE collection's one of the standout parts is the purple BAPE Camo Puffer Jacket, a nod to Lil Wayne's iconic 2000s camo look. It features KidSuper's Face Camo and BAPE's ABC Camo.

Additionally, BAPE’s Shark Hoodie gets a KidSuper makeover. The usual frowning shark face on the hood now flips into a smile. The collection also introduces BAPE STAs in various styles, including slip-on clogs and patchwork designs made from Japanese Boro fabric.

One of the tees features a Baby Milo version of Colm Dillane. Another gives a nod to Japanese culture with a reference to 7-Eleven’s egg salad sandwiches. Rounding out the KidSuper x BAPE lineup is a rainbow camo travel kit sported with essentials like an eye mask, earplugs, socks, toothbrush, and pencils.

In a statement shared with Highsnobiety, Colm Dillane stated,

"I've been a fan of BAPE since I was a kid—it's one of those brands that's always had a huge cultural presence. Early on in my career, I'd be screenprinting shirts for people lined up at BAPE® drops, so it's a brand I've always felt connected to."

The KidSuper x BAPE collection is reportedly slated for release in Spring 2025, with prices ranging from $150 to $600. Fans can look forward to purchasing the pieces at BAPE stores and online.
