BAPE has collaborated on a new capsule collection with quintessential Japanese manga Ninja Hattori-Kun, emblazoning classic apparel with iconography from the beloved anime series. Hattori-Kun and Shishimaru (the ninja dog), two iconic characters from the manga, appear on pullover hoodies and t-shirts alongside BAPE's Baby Milo, abridging two of Japan's most transcendent cultural forces in one succinct creative outing. The collection will also include karakusa prints alongside the brand's familiar ABC CAMO.
The collection will drop online and in-stores this Saturday, January 13th; be sure to cop a piece of this limited edition run before its gone. Peep images from the collection below:
