Remember that 2021 collaboration between A BATHING APE and Union? Well, they’re coming back for round two!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BAPE, despite not being under the purview of its founder NIGO, continues to produce exciting collaborations such as their recent “Michael Jackson”<\/a> collection. Union, on the other hand, just released one of their most polarizing shoes in the form of the Union LA x Bephies Beauty Supply x Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While BAPE’s collaborations might not be generating the familiar deafening roar they used to, this reunion with Union might help its case. Could this be the missing ingredient to rekindle the world’s love affair with BAPE? Can East meet West and spark a whole new wave of streetwear trends?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing’s for sure: @bape_japan<\/a>‘s recent social media teaser is enough to pique curiosity. A halo hovering over the BAPE apehead? The BAPE lightning bolt illuminating Union’s frontman? ‘Nuff said. Stay tuned for more details in the coming days!<\/p>\n\n\n
