BWS London

["a"]

No, just took the picture from the size website. I reckon they'll look alright with a pair of jeans.

[DUNCAN99]

yeah they will look ok with jeans and probly nice on others but boat shoes dont fit me well

[crazy__camo]

is there any black + gold bapexs left ???

[j8liu]

is there any black + gold bapexs left ???

don't think so

[bape_uk]

Is Rae bringing anyone else? I'd go see Ghostface for sure, and they are normally together. Where's Koko, Camden?

yeah ghostface is gonna be there as well.

[crs-1]

They are gonna be £585, im sure resell will be much the same so wouldnt worry about missing out on them too much.

They arent that amazing imo. Its like Crush 6 but with latest Ruby detailing isnt it. On their own they both look nice but together is too much and £585 retail is madness. I dont think they will sell out in a hurry from what I was told.

[Bossman75]

Solid colour roadies in the window today and short sleeve button ups on the rail.

[xSHARKBAITx]

Im down in London next week and was wondering what the hoody situation is like in BWS?

Looking for a panda.

Also, does the Hideout stock Christos? or is it just a web order thing?

Hopefully see some of you lads too!

[-icecream]

i think they still have panda's, in all colours most sizes. they offered me a red one in small!

[stuweezy]

How long you gonna be around for man?

[Starky D]

those black roadies are nice

[Bossman75]

Ohhhh Starky Starky! Starky Starky Starky Starky Starky D!

You copping? I'm gonna go in and ask about the Skullies release date.

[Murakami]

Ere Boss , ask em what colours they have coming out or is it just the black ones ?

[Bossman75]

Ere Boss , ask em what colours they have coming out or is it just the black ones ?

Think they just did black last time so I'm hoping for better choices this time. I'll ask!!

[revs boi]

what colours do the new roadstas come in?

[stuweezy]

As far as I know they come in 4 colours - Blue, Black, Cream and Brown, all leather!

[Bossman75]

Ding ding ding Stu is correct!

[Starky D]

i would cop the black ones but i'm going to leave them as i'm trying to sort myself out with a PS3 at the mo

["a"]

Sharkbait, didn't see any Christos left today so I gues they all sold out. You could try DSM though as they usually get their Visvim deliveries later than Hideout. IMO they look like caveman slippers though.

[xSHARKBAITx]

Thanks mate :)


How long you gonna be around for man?

Just for the day mate, not sure what day at the moment mate.
I`ll let you know!

Yeah mate i will, but i have no idea where DSM is lol?? Do you have a link to that site with the online map? I cant remember what its called.
Haha, "cavemen slippers"..im going on holiday and they look like they`ll fit the bill.

[Joe1991]

http://doverstreetmarket.com/ address is right there

["a"]

They have some nice stuff in there at the moment, Visvim x Affa logan high, mmj x fragment x base control t shirt and boxer sets, mmj x fragment polo shirts amongst other things.

[xSHARKBAITx]

Nice one mate, thanks :)

Cheers mate, i`ll check out the MMJ x Fragment x Base Control Tee.
Anywhere selling Fenoms mate?

["a"]

That would only be DSM but they don't currently have any in. The base control x mmj x fragment is nice but it says underwear on the back of the t shirt under the mmj skull so i wouldnt wear it. £80 for the set. I am still tempted by the polo shirt at £190 though. Check out Vertice on South Molten Street if you get a chance, but prepare for high prices and proper snobby salesmen. The only time I saw them smile was when I was buying something. Also you have to visit Uniqlo, some great stuff in at the moment, and so cheap, don't knwo if they have many oooop north like!

[Bossman75]

Uniqlo! Pah! Secret Japan Local Brand FTW!!!

[Yom]

Uniqlo! Pah! Secret Japan Local Brand FTW!!!

lol beat me to it.

[xSHARKBAITx]

Yeah man, I am getting the 10:05 GNER from Leeds so I should be in London for 12ish maybe, then I have about 6 hours of looking around and good shopping..its the wifeys birthday so we are spending the day in London.

£80 for the set doesn't sound that bad..I`ll try check out as many places as possible.

Haha, i think you mean "ooooop North Larrk" lol..nah there isn't a Uniqlo up here, but i have been wanting to check out the LDN one for a while..the online shop is a bit shit..

When i get to Piccadilly Circus, where do i want to be heading? Regent Street?

[Yom]

there are about 5 uniqlos on oxford street, and one at the piccadilly end of regent street

["a"]

There is a Uniqlo on regent street but my personal favourite one is the one on Oxford St down towards Selfridges. If you get off at Piccadily Circus, walk up by Burger King and Boots and then up the street next to Dunkin Doughnuts and it'll take you up to Hideout and Bape, DPMHI is also around the same area if you're wanting to check it out, then I'd cross over regent st and head to DSM then up bond st through south molton st maybe checking out vertice and browns to selfridges, then head down oxford st to uniqlo. That's the way I'd do it, but you need to fit in the lady's shopping somewhere. I know how they nag about being dragged around those shops and how their feet ache....why cant we get the tube/bus, we have a travelcard etc!

[xSHARKBAITx]

Haha, my girl does have a bit of a knack for nagging ;)

Thanks alot Yom+Adam I`ll be sure to check all the places you said and hopefully not get lost!

Is Gucci on Regent Street?

["a"]

Nope, Gucci is on Bond St but also has a concession in Selfridges. If you go down the road that comes off Bond St where Gucci is on the corner and go over the next road and along a bit and take a right you will come to DSM.

[xSHARKBAITx]

Fucking hell, i`m gunna get lost...i`ll give it a pop though lol..

Thanks again mate.

[crs-1]

When i get to Piccadilly Circus, where do i want to be heading? Regent Street?

Easiest way to do it Luke is get the Piccadilly line to Green Park, take Exit 3 and turn left at the top of the stairs and then walk down for two minutes and you will be at Dover Street Market. Check on the exit but I am sure its number 3, if you ask the peope at the station they will tell you.

[xSHARKBAITx]

Nice one Clive, thanks.

Is there free WiFi hotspots? I`ll check everything you guys are saying on my Itouch haha!

[crs-1]

Nice one Clive, thanks.

Is there free WiFi hotspots? I`ll check everything you guys are saying on my Itouch haha!

McDonalds have free Wifi I think. I sent you a pm but wasnt sure if there was specific spots you are after.

[xSHARKBAITx]

Yeah mate, i messaged you back :)

[crs-1]

Yeah mate, i messaged you back :)

Cool, I sent you a guide to the streets. I think its probably easier to start at DSM and work back. Forgot to say you also have Libertys inbetween Carnaby and Argyll Street.

If you do it by tube then

DSM - Green Park
Bape/Hideout/DPMHI/Liberty/Gucci/LV/Apple Store are all Oxford Circus
Vertice/Browns/Selfridges are all Bond Street.

[suppish]

I called up Hideout, and I THINK they said they're not getting in the OFxPremeXKM tees, but they are getting the OFxVisvim backpack. Not 100% sure though.

I repeated my question several times, but I can't help but feel he thought I was asking if they were getting the normal Visvim backpacks in.

[swede]

daym, i wanted one of the supremexof tees! slappin kate moss n all haa

[alibaba007]

thats a shame, tht OF x supreme tee is one of nicest things to drop for a while

[Starky D]

Quick Question, what was the bigger anthem

Three Lions - 96 or 98?

[EJM]

Couldn't find a place to introduce myself, so I guess here with fellow UK (B)APE heads would be a good place to start.

I'm a twenty year-old student from Birmingham that's been into street fashion for almost six years. I've known of the likes of A Bathing Ape, BBC/IC, Supreme, Stussy - particular brands that I'm into - for quite some time, but its only more recently over the last year or so that I've took the plunge and been actually putting cash aside for the stuff.

I think its awesome that a site like this is even in existence, and I no doubt would love to be a part of it from henceforth :)

I'm heading down London way for the N*E*R*D gig at Brixton academy next month on the 14th. I may pay BWS a visit when I'm down there, but I have a general question regarding prices (something that I'm sure you probably get asked a lot, apologies in advance). How do the prices there compare to the likes of Cliff Edge or pondon? I ask this because until I actually head down there, online has been my only access to (B)APE items. Thanks in advance.

Back on topic...

My opinion: Three Lions '96. The original, and still the best. Although I'm partial to a bit of John Barnes' rap in World In Motion by New Order. Pure cheddar cheese.

[wutangrza]

...visited today & it was the worst stock I've ever seen in there. I can't believe after all this time I still have'nt bought anything from there yet...SMH.

[CT9A]

Is this stock? Thanks in advance.

[Starky D]

No lie, prices are really rape, i only really know that tees are £50, sta's are £100+ and hoodies are £200+, i think these are the prices 'roughly' the canvas belts etc. are £50 aswell.

["a"]

very nice. do you know price of backpack?

Nope sorry, I forgot it was Sunday today, they actually released yesterday, lol.

[swede]

i also wanna know the price of the backpack? if anyone is headed up there soon could you check it out

and hideout website is brokee

[Gabs..]

Any 1 know when these will b released??? please let me no asap i really wana catch the black 1!!

http://www.cliffedge.co.jp/images/item/080504/250-000082-051-03.JPG

i no Pondon has them but unfortunatly not in my size im after 7.1/8!!!!

[Bossman75]

New caps in the window, however not the above or the one asked about on the previous page. Sorry fellas.

Tees are usually 55, hoodies from 160 and up, sneaks from 130 and up, jeans 180 and up, accessories vary and are all ultimately expensive for what they are.

I haven't been in for a good few weeks as I can't bare to see the same shit and also have no money currently. Not good!

But the sun is out!!! Welcome EJM, hope you enjoy the forum mate. Post all your UK knowledge here and look for updates, better than the one I have just given though ha ha.

why u cattin the babes lol:p

[mikeyl]

Yo EJM, what's the hype like in Birmingham? We need a guide for the second city if I'm ever up there! Been to Flannels next to Selfridges- picked up some BBC.

["a"]

There isn't really anywhere good left to go in Birmingham.

[deadkane]

haven't been to BWS since february and was wondering if there are any trucker caps left and how much are they usually, for all those who respond

[crs-1]

There isn't really anywhere good left to go in Birmingham.

Train station is good as it takes you somewhere else :)

[swede]

the only shop worth anything is candystore!

www.thecandylifestyle.com

they resell bbc and bape, but are known for a really good stock of other stuff, check it out

ps the website is wack and does the store no justice!

["a"]

I used to live in Brum and visit fairly regularly but can't say I have ever heard of or visited that store. The only decent one shut down years ago and now the guy who used to run it works in London.

[suppish]

Yeh, it opened in November last year.

Birmingham is ultra wack, and that's coming from a guy who lives there. AToo, Autograph, Selfridges (and of course my man's Candy Store) are probably the only worth while places.

Swede, I saw you at the Kermit drop yeh?

[Starky D]

I saw Boris today lol. Sweaty beast though, they had pics of him cycling to work in his shirt, tie and trousers and that's what he was still in on the way home, snails pace tho

[ldnpinoy]

Anybody know if the london truckers are still in? Or if anybody selling one please let me know, Thanks!

[tomtsang16]

have to agree brum is not that good for shopping anymore, everytime i go into town i come home empty handed as i see nothing i like. everything is all the same

Chester is correct!

Jesussandals was in the London shop last weekend and the Bape staff confirmed phone orders up and running!

[Starky D]

probably because of lack of in shop sales lol

[crs-1]

when they used to do it you'd get people call up obviously just asking what they had in as one of the staff would walk round the shop going "yeah we've got a tee with blah blah blah on it"

bet they get the most indecisive callers

"can i see a pic with you wearing them"

Probably also get kids going :-

"Is it deadstock, can you guarantee no one has tried it on in the shop as if they have it isnt deadstock"

"Would you be interested in a trade, I have a size xxxxxxxxxxxxxxlllllllllllllll BBC Hood that I have only worn once"

"I know the price is this but you will never get that much for it, so I offer this instead"

:)

[Jtee]

Lol, love the British humor - keep it going chaps. :)

[Starky D]

Ya Flamin Galah!

[-icecream]

so, will they post to the entire UK?
will definately think of doing this for the Silver Sta's. Anyone know if you can preorder things to be shipped on the day of release? I don't want them to sell out without getting a pair..

i don't think they'll give you priority over people queuing outside, so if there was a queue for those stas they might wait for the queue to die down then sell them via phone orders.

i'm only speculating but as the manager likes queues as opposed to raffles it'd be a tad unfair to let phone orders get first helping when people have been outside of possibly hours

Irene and Lance tag team madness :)

[suppish]

Yeh, there's no way they'd serve you before any queue.

[crs-1]

Yeh, there's no way they'd serve you before any queue.

they used to do so, if you can get through on the phone they would take the order then. In the past I have placed mail order for items shortly after they have opened. They dont actually like people queueing because they act like dicks, make a mess and cause hassle for them.

[-icecream]

Do you think there will be a lineup for them then?

[crs-1]

Do you think there will be a lineup for them then?

Its doubtful as no one lines up anymore. I am not sure if they even allow people to do so as last I heard they were stopping it due to complaints.

[-icecream]

cheers. so they might be in for a few days then?

yo, quick bit about pirated BapeStas in the Gruandiad yesterday.. Pirates make cooler trainers (http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguide/features/story/0,,2278509,00.html)

[Bossman75]

Nice find mate! For those who are lazy -

Nike's Air Force 1 is a basketball shoe that has been customised and re-released by the company themselves over 900 times since its launch in 1982. But this didn't stop 22-year-old Tokyo hip-hop DJ, Nigo, from creating his own version. Nigo (who released an album, Ape Sounds, on James Lavelle's Mo Wax label in 2000) redesigned the Air Force 1 specifically for hip-hop fans, never intending it to be used as a basketball shoe. Taking the Air Force 1 design as his base, Nigo ripped off the "swoosh" logo and stitched on his own shooting star- like emblem. He used materials and colour combinations even Nike hadn't experimented with at the time, and sold them in very limited quantities for upwards of $300 a pair. Nigo's fashion label, A Bathing Ape, which produces the shoes, is now a multimillion dollar streetwear brand with more than 16 stores in Japan, London and New York. But what Nike did next is where it gets interesting. There was a clear case of trademark infringement here, but Nike didn't sue Nigo, because it could see commercial value in what he was doing. It recognised that his shoe wasn't detracting from the Air Force 1 brand, it was actually adding value. In music, good remixes make the original tracks more popular - the same thing was happening here. So instead of suing him, Nike looked at Nigo's remixed shoes, and created their own remixes in response, using a wider variety of materials and colours. They didn't view Nigo as a pirate, but as a competitor who pushed them to innovate. And while Nigo's trainers continue to do well, the ever-evolving Nike Air Force 1 remains the world's most popular basketball shoe franchise over 25 years after its release.

[-icecream]

so no answer to the question about whether these will go quickly..........i really don't want the silver's to be gone before i get my hands on them!

[Bossman75]

Mate who can tell? Depends how many they get in in your size and who else wants them. Call the day they are released and you're luck will be in!!

[london kid]

Its probably got a lot to do with the fact that Fraser Cooke is now Manager of special projects at Nike. Fraser is still one half of Gimme 5, Friends with James Lavelle and Nigo.

I am not saying Fraser saved Nigo more convinced Nike heads to the possibilities.

[meltdown155]

i think the silver n gold stas will go pretty quick so i gotta cop a pair

[deadkane]

Where do you work deadkane?


i'm at college now. only went as i had a long break so decided to go down BWS as its about 10 minutes from my college. used to work in a designer store at the weekends but gave it up for college. now its just college work and exams, hopefully going to get another job in the summer probably in retail again.

i might pop in tommorow as i have another long break lol. ill probably check the price on the sandals and stas and then off to greggs for a chicken pasty lol and maybe a sneaky lil pint at the pub opposite the big plug lol.

[Bossman75]

Skull Stas should be in by Saturday, New hidden camo sandals in the next delivery.

Popped in for the first time in ages. Few pairs of shorts, non as good as the ones Cream24 picked up. 3 or 4 hoodies on the rail, another 4 in the display. Lots of ring tees and regualr tees. Lots of polos. Few pairs of jeans.

Row of stas but nothing new. Star camo sandals and belts in the window. Clocks, fisherman hats, truckers etc. If you want to know about a specific item show me a pic and I'll let you know if it was in or not.

Forgot to ask about the silver and gold stas. Sorry about that.

[deadkane]

Yeah, like Boss said, there was a woman opening the door, a guy with a shaved head and these two scene lasses working at the time. I was surprised by no security aswell lol.

Overall I did enjoy it if I am being honest, enjoyed just walking around looking at places, Was really hoping to see some of you lads but I didn't see anyone. Thought I saw Stu so I shouted "STTTUUUUUU" but the lad didn't look so I`m guessin it wasn't him lol.

ABC camo colour big BAPE buckle belts - the camo is actually the haiwiaan funky camo but in the ABC colours
tatami sta camo jesus boots
those polos i wanted but probably won't be able to get on the middle section
lots of polos hanging up, all stripey and a bit rockport leeds crew, no offence sharkbait lol

[Uncleboaby]

lol didnt know GLC bought bape, wow atleast they dont wear the shit they wear in their vids

I know, I was surprised too. He also had a Size? bag so clearly the man has taste.

Anyone know how much those belts with the big BAPE buckles are?

[Starky D]

usually about 150 kinda dread prices seeing as the paint cracks uber quickly

[Uncleboaby]

Won't be getting one of those then :(

Love Bape and all, but I can think of a million better things to spend £150 on than a new belt buckle.
