The History of Bape
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.พ. 2021
- Bape is one of the most iconic brands in streetwear history. In this video, we look at how it’s founder Nigo found his love for fashion through the world of rap, met other influential designers like Hiroshi Fujiwara of Fragment and Jun Takahashi of Undercover, the start of his store Nowhere, teaming up with SK8THING to launch A Bathing Bape (better known as Bape), and his friendship with Pharrell Williams. We’ll also take a look at some of the most famous Bape collabs (including Supreme, KAWS, and Disney), working with Kanye West, his decision to leave Bape, the launch of his new label Human Made, and much more. This is the history of Bape.

also I didn't have time to add it because it just happened yesterday but Nigo announced he signed a record deal with Victor Victor (the same label Pop Smoke was signed to) so maybe we'll be getting a Nigo album soon 🤔 p.s. thanks to everyone who's been showing love you guys have been going crazy - thread
Maybe One on Kerby the owner of Pyer Moss I feel he’s underrated.
it's fine fam, just you can hit in 1 year update versions or something, xd idea ofc
Yeah I just peeped that as well fr man thanks for this video I think this is the best history on Nigo I ever seen in the internet you packed a lot of good information and you did real good man thank you 🙏🏾®
Do one on Gianni Mora
@@yoursentimental1206 most def need ones of these
Nigo friendship with Pharrell is so wholesome and cool. Right now we never spotted Pharrell in no other than Human Made.
for real. they got rich and famous together and still stayed friends. goals.
Now one is the creative director of LV and the other one is the creative director of Kenzo. Legendary!!!

Bape was never the same since. Long live the General.

Bro I’m telling you that you are probably the only one who has made a video like this. Super good and underrated
thank you bro I'm just getting started more like this on the way 💫
I recommend watching The Casual's videos on bape along with some Keezy bape videos if you wanna see more stuff like this.
agreed
Bro ur everywhere
All hail baby yoda
Made me think of how I used to buy and sell sneakers just to afford my first zip up hoodie. I wore it everyday and you couldn’t tell me shit because I bought it with my own money. I’m currently working on my own brand. This video couldn’t have come at a better time. Lit a fire in me. Thank you.
go get it 🙏💫
Anything worth showing?
@@SAIWFY frrr got me curious
What is the brand name ?
@LARIOS Fuseigo.
This isn’t a channel, this is a boutique of content- man, you really breathe life into this stories.
I always assumed Nigo was a tagger turned into a fashion designer, it’s eye-opening to know he’s into hip hop music, and that lane brought him into fashion.
🙏
Made a huge impact in hip-hop and yet a few people know this guy.
Idk even when these dropped in the 90s people were wearing BAPE shoes and sometimes you will see shirts, it was really popular, even in Elementary school we all wanted BAPE shoes, all the hip-hop heads and street wear lovers. Even in the video he says Lil Wayne was known for bringing it to America too and I grew up 10 minutes outside of New Orleans so everybody was listening to Lil Wayne back in the day, so everybody knew about BAPE in the 90s in Louisiana
The people that matter know who he is
Nah. People know.

@@jpair205 Nah souja boy
This channel is too underrated no cap
I JUST POSTED MY FIRST BAPE UNBOXING, IT WOULD BE AWESOME IF YOU COULD COMMENTS, YOURE THE BOMB !!

Ahhh man aside from leaving out Clipse, I’d say this is one of the best breakdowns of BAPE on TH-cam. Great video man I enjoyed it.
other than them being one of the first in the states to wear bape , what was left out ? I'm aware of their relationship with pharrell , i grew up near them in that era
@@yearight6294 just that. 😁
this was my first introduction to your channel, and I gotta say that you are really good at doing proper and deep research, and are very good at explaining it. even just the background footage is still quite rare to come across, and you are very good at explaining things, that might seem complicated.
I learned a lot from this video, even tho I already knew quite a bit about nigo, and bape and so on, but I learned a lot about sk8things involvement, and how Hiroshi Fujiwara basically is behind most major Japanese streetwear brands!
id love to see this video, and your channel gaining more traction, as you really deserve!
I'm about to just binge watch all your videos, lol
thank you so much - the research takes time but I'm glad you guys appreciate it. Hope you enjoy binging the rest of my videos 😂
Yessir your here to brighten up my day
thats what im here for - enjoy the vid ✌️
How tf has this channel not blown up yet 🤯

low key dont want this to channel to blow up like bape , we need thread to stay underground
😂
im a massive bape fan, have spent so much on it. ive watched many videos but this one is by far the best and my fav regarding the history of bape! very well made video

What or who inspired you to become fan of the brand bape?
I’m so glad I found your channel pls keep updating 🤩🤩
Your videos are really well done all-around, this one being no exception. Great content man!
Thank you bro 🙏
The way you perfectly narated all of this bro
🙏
You are helping connect so many dots in pop culture. Salute 🫡 ❤️🔥
I always kinda knew about Bape and I loved the idea and design. But I never knew about the story behind it until now. Thanks for the video!
thanks for watching!
Probably one of the coolest story I've ever heard, thanks for this great video
This is one of my favourite channels on TH-cam. Sooo much insight. I absolutely love it
thank you bro 💫 just getting started
I swear this channel about to blow!!!Another fire vid 🔥🔥🔥
It’s not what you know. It’s who you know.

After two videos I’m already subbed. Awesome content. Love this stuff. Keep it up Threaducation. This is good stuff. Thank your for your content and efforts.
thank you for subbing welcome to the channel!
Great content, Nigo has always been one of my biggest inspirations!
Saw you on creators on the rise and I needed something to watch while I was on lunch break. And man, I enjoy your content ngl.
thank you bro, hopefully I made your lunch break a little better 😁✌️
Love the video been really getting into fashion lately and as a kinda newbie in the streetwear world your channel is a life saver
So glad!
Great vid! I'm an action figure collector and recently got ahold of a BAPE collab transformers figure. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole learning more about BAPE, but knowing quite literally nothing about fashion or streetwear this video was a lifesaver. Excellent work, learned a lot 👍
We rarely click on these sorts of videos without quickly getting out of them. Thank you for doing Nigo justice. 🖖 [We are going to blog it]
Your videos go crazy bro! Hella good and informative! Keep em coming!
🙏
Love the vids, you are the first one that really goes in detail about everything. Keep it up game!

You are amazing! Love your channel bro and you definitely deserve way more love than what your getting! Keep it up bro because you are on the right path!💜
thank you so much that really means a lot!
You got me watching all of your videos, it gives me insight about what fashion designers and fashion as a whole, excited for the future of your channel, really fuck with this.
Also thoughts on the collab with bape and cudder
glad you like the channel - and I love that collab because of what it means. I chose not to mention it here because this video is about Bape and not just Cudi but Cudi going from working at Bape to having his own collab is one of my favorite stories
Love the concept of this channel, great video 😄
thank you glad you enjoy!
Top quality content, thanks for the videos. I'm such a fan of Nigo, it's really great seeing him now at Kenzo ☄️ ☄️☄️

Your videos are amazing I’m literally gonna watch all of them

Yet another amazing video. I just watched the Netflix Halston series and after watching your videos on Bape and Hood By Air they all seem like cautionary tales against over extending and corporations that only want to wring as much profit out of a creative label as possible before it collapses under diminishing quality and excessive quantity
Underrated channel keep it up love this
You have such amazing videos. Thank you!
thanks for watching!

welcome to the channel! thanks for subscribing
yo this was dope,
don't forget how spitta and cudi helped make bape popular tooo! along with the clipse.
def spitta though, Wayne saw him with a bape tee asked him what it was and then pretty much copped a whole closet of the lukewarm hotness lol
this channel is awesome
Love the videos ty
Can you do the history of Supreme or old school Girbaud !? I’m officially a fan binged watched every video since yesterday morning ! This is GOLD
thank you so much and welcome to the channel 💫 girbaud would be a great one, Supreme coming eventually too!
Thank you for the amazing, informative video! Whats the instrumental playing in the background?
In my country (Slovakia) we have podcast called Ftapes. (fashion tapes) Two guys basicly talk about history of streetwear and fashion in general. In one of their episodes they recently talk about Nigo and bape but mainly about fujiwara and sk8thing and their influence on streetwear. Your content has similar vibes but just on yt and i love it. Wish you all the succes
