History
The brand was launched in 2012 by the Hong Kong-based fashion conglomerate I.T Group following its acquisition of A Bathing Ape from founder Nigo. It was established to provide a more accessible entry point into the BAPE universe for a younger generation. Historically, Aape signifies the commercial expansion of Japanese Ura-Harajuku style into global retail markets. It maintains the parent brand's visual identity while focusing on high-volume production.
