A Bathing Ape kicked off 2014 with a very unexpected collaboration with…The Simpsons! To celebrate the show’s 25th season, television’s first family has been showing up in all kinds of clothing lines these past few months. Although this release might just be The Simpsons’ swankiest yet! For The Simpsons x BAPE Capsule Collection, A Bathing Ape has re-imagined Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie in the style of BAPE’s mascot Baby Milo.
The Blot’s never been a huge BAPE fan, but I do like these simplistic designs featuring The Simpsons clan and Baby Milo. The donut design is especially nice. I’m just not sure any of these t-shirts, crewnecks, zip-up hoodies, varsity jackets and snapback hats seen here are worth their hefty price tags. While most of the t-shirts sold out upon their release on January 1, 2014, many of the crewnecks and hoodies are still available at the BAPE online store for $121 and up.
