Official Release Dates Japan Thread (Autumn/Winter 2007/'08)

[ardavan]

^ they closed bapecuts

[BapeManTaiwan]

why did they close that?

[Snap]

oh damn for real..?
cool thanks for the info man

[EINNOR]

Didnt they reopen it at the old Apee Bapy store??

[Yom]

sendai has 2 stores next to each other, one mens, one ladies. if thats what u mean?

[BapeManTaiwan]

they should just leave all there old stores if they still build new ones i mean nigo still has money why not just keep the landmarks there.....but i really hated how bape was so hard to find in harajuku ....i only found it cuz i asked a guy from tab device where the OF store was and BAPE happened to be right under it lol

Actually i loved the old "hidden" harajuku store...it made it a bit of an adventure getting there and was part of the "old" bape feeling i guess....the new big ones re killing the brand a little bit imo....
But back to the topic....WHEN is NIGO releasing MY shibuya madsta's?
DAMN ;)

[Yom]

thanks wilson :)

you're not in nagoya by any chance :D

[ProtocolSnow]

I passed by the Harajuku store last week and noticed that they were only letting in 1 or 2 people every 5 minutes. It was in the middle of the afternoon and I was on a time crunch so I didn't have the time to wait in line. Is this waiting typical for Bape stores? As far as I know, there weren't any new releases that day.

sometimes it is, some times it isnt.

first day i went to Nagoya store i had to queue, and that was a wednesday, no particular drop.

never had to queue since.

depends on staffing and stuff

[ronsta]

damn, i checked this site in such a long time. last time i've been to the stores was when they released the nerd shirt and cd in harajuku, which i got. doesn't look like i've been missing out on much. recently made friends with the foreign director of kiks tyo and he let me write down everything i wanted from the new season at the new season exhibit last week. looks like i'll only be buying teriyaki source and stuff like that from now on.

[wilson38383]

It is depended on No. of customre in the store. If the store is full (the stuff think), they will start control the PPL flow.

Later this week new pants, including a ribbed version.
Also this week, a reversible hoodie but the guy in the shop didn't remember which one. I think one side has a college logo though.

[Kyotostyles]

Don't worry, Kyoto's back! I've been out of the game for a couple of months, due to lots of travelling, work, and Bape releasing shite mainly. But I really like what I'm seeing now, Bape is releasing the good ole fresh shit again!
So yeah, I'll try to start doing regular updates again. And the hook-ups are back on as well!

[krayzeez]

asami or kyotostyles. can one of you read your pms please! thanks :)

[tourstage_bapesta]

amazon japan has the new catalogue coming out on oct. 31 can anyone confirm?

[Asami]

Lots of new things, check out the bape.com website. A lot of Teriyaki boys stuff and new jackets.

[Kyotostyles]

Tiger camo tiger parka and new skullsta's (e.g. catalog p.31) on Saturday.

The signing session in Kyoto is the same day. This is how things will go down in Kyoto, and I guess it's gonna be the same in other cities: raffle at 10 o'clock, for gold members only. The books are limited to 50 pieces, so only 50 people get to buy a book and have it signed by Nigo. He probably won't be signing anything else either.

1st camo snowboard jackets release on Sunday.

[Asami]

Well I was just about to post those things but Mitch beat me to it :) .


Sucks about the book thing though as I haven't gotten my gold card yet >_>.

[Kyotostyles]

The skullsta's releasing this weekend are the sexy ones with gold and silver sta, and black and navy, all on white base. Holla for a hook-up.

[Kyotostyles]

Japan heads, don't forget to send in the Bape Paper mail order forms, they have to be in by November 5th.

If anyone else wants one of the mail order items, let me know:

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/2435/bapepaper10mailorderitecw6.jpg

[Asami]

^are those all the mail order items, or are there more?

[Kyotostyles]

Yeah those 5: camo down jacket, camo panda, Milo tee in box, rings, and multicamo book.

[Asami]

How much would the Milo tee run me?

Btw, went to The world yesterday. Great club, can't remember most of the night as I got way too drunk but I definitely had fun. Nigo and Low Jack Three are gonna perform there in 2 weeks as well :) . Good tip man.

[Kyotostyles]

No problem dude.

Did you hear about Joey in Kyoto yesterday? Nigo was amazed with his Bape tattoo and was taking pictures of it :p

[Asami]

Nope, sounds like fun though.


Lots of new things in the story today, Bape isn't updating the website like they used to :( . Nice snowboard jackets in black and blue, some camo gore tex jackets. Camo tiger still in store in M and L. Bape socks, some new crews and some new flannel stuff.

Really surprised to see that Bape Kyoto sells out WAY faster than Bape Osaka, who had lots of stuff in stock that was sold out for days or weeks in Kyoto. Staff was really cool in Osaka, ended up talking to one of them for over an hour and he even said that he was gonna try and get me into the gold member signing event. Kyoto staff is cool too though.

A lot better than those snobby bitches at Supreme Osaka and NBHD, they should get schooled in Japanese politeness.

[Yom]

u will learn quickly that in Japan ppl say a lot of things to be polite, with out any intention of actually doing it :)

not saying he wont, just dont be surprised if nothing happens :)

[Kyotostyles]

Then again, it's not that hard to discern between when they're just trying to be polite, and when they do what they say they will.

[Asami]

^ I have enough experience with Japanese politeness to know when they mean it and when not, but thanks for the heads up though.


Tomorrow checkered t-shirts, the Milo one and the Bathing Ape one.

[Bape_lovers]

is the panda only in red camo?

[Kyotostyles]

Yeah only red camo.

Releases this weekend include some corduroy down vests, duffle coats, and woodland camo down jackets.

[Yom]

Yeah only red camo.

Releases this weekend include some corduroy down vests, duffle coats, and woodland camo down jackets.

u back in Japan now?

[Kyotostyles]

Nope, not yet. I'm going back in March, for at least another one or two years. But I still talk with Kyoto staff peeps a lot, that's where I get my info.

Will you still be there in spring?

[Yom]

im in the uk now but will be back in japan soon and will be staying this time :)

[Asami]

Lots of nice stuff in at the moment, loads of beanies (they actually still have some shark ones here..), a lot of coats in all sorts of camo and a few non camo ones. Hoodie selection is so so, they still have the Tiger in at the Kyoto but only in M, some rope logo hoodies which looked really nice imo, and a lot of the longsleeve polo's.

This weekend all the Mario X Milo releases, and the workpants (which will no doubt be awful).

Also, tomorrow Bape Sounds Club Tour!

[Puneater]

man, all these early releases in japan makes me THAT much closer to wanting to go to Japan this summer juz to raid stuff!

[Murakami]

Panty creamer of the day , I want this so bad

http://www.stay246.jp/ss/img/241456.jpg

[ronniecheung]

Anyone knows what item will release from 6-Dec to 13-Dec? Thanks:D

[Sun O.C.]

[ronniecheung]

Anyone knows? Cos i will go to Japan on this Saturday.
Please help......many thanks.

[Fresh Prince]

bape exclusive was having a 70% sale on every item
sorry i wont be going back so i dont no if its still on

[Yom]

im pretty sure it was 70% off what was left from the Nigo sale, not everything in the store?

[Yom]

Fire Camo Snowboard Jackets are out

[EINNOR]

If thats the case, it must be the first ever BAPE-sale...


bape exclusive was having a 70% sale on every item

[wilson38383]

No, there is another BAPE-sale in yr 2003.... they also sell display/ archive

[wilson38383]

Seems KYOTO has no interest in Spring 09 items.....

[Asami]

:( Is that towards Mitch or me?

This weekend Ultra Skullsta's, new snowboard jackets (with sta's and camo) and another jacket.


Just found out the Teriyaki Boyz will also perform in Kyoto, quite happy now :) . Don't have to go down to Osaka.

[Murakami]

Thanks for the update :cool: please keep this thread going , thank you :)

[Daniel_San]

This Sat (21/2) Shark Varsity ver 2.

[Asami]

This Sat (21/2) Shark Varsity ver 2.
Just beat me to it :) .

Also, olive and black snowboard jackets this weekend.

[Daniel_San]

Will be heading to BWS, pm me!!!

[Espresso]

When do the dress shirt come out?

[Murakami]

New skullies are out :cool:

[tourstage_bapesta]

what skullies are those murakami?

[Asami]

Green, pink, orange. Check bape.com.

[tourstage_bapesta]

thanks buddy, forgot about going there, is it just me or is the online webstore primarly to move stock that is sitting so to speak, cause it seems 99% of the stuff on there is sold out(take all 3 colourways of the new skullies for example)

[Asami]

Well, the webstore is a good example of the fact that people that don't have access to a BWS are still highly into Bape. And it's also an easy outlet for old stock, again targeting at those unable to get stuff from normal BWS and thus perhaps settling for ''lesser'' goods.

Things move much faster online than instore, hope for Nigo this will keep up even when the newness of the webstore wears off.

[Asami]

Just came back from bapexclusive where they had the new roadsta's on display (releasing next week om monday the 13th). They look really nice, they're coloured in orange, yellow, purple, grey, white, red and black (I think exclusive). They're leather with suede touches, such as the toeguard (what's it called) part and they looked really nice irl. No pictures as of yet.
