Anything this week? I'll let you know in 5 minutes...

[BBCBillionaire]

Anything this week? I'll let you know in 5 minutes...

SUSPENSE!!!!!! Hurry up man I have milk and oatmeal raisin cookies waiting!

[problemchild909]

oh shit man!! oh shit oh shit oh shit.

[The Locust]

Looks like something's stirring; bapemania kicked me out and told me I have to sign back in.

[Blackspade]

*drumroll....*

["a"]

Im in cant see anything new but keep getting an error message

[The Locust]

Same, wonder what it means. Could it be "Please try again while we are updating the inventory"?

["a"]

Lol, no idea, I have no Japanese skills at all, lol.

[Undftd]

dammit stop the suspense already :mad:

next time just post when inventory is up.. i cant handle it

[The Locust]

It's more interesting like this! Like when you show your cards face up as the flop, turn, and river come out in texas hold em!

[The Locust]

Might be nothing today... the site is loading way too fast.

["a"]

I have stopped getting the message and the inventory doesnt change! Are we on a wild goose chase?

[The Locust]

Looks like it, gonna try till 1:30 (gotta wait for my friend to call anyways) but looks like the drop'll be tomorrow.

["a"]

New Milo bearbricks with the face camo releasing on 3rd Feb in member's news. I hope that wasn't the update!

[Blackspade]

Loc, can you help me register on B Mania? I got a Japanese address. =/

["a"]

Do you have a Japanese bank account too? Then go to a Bape store and fill out the application form.

[Blackspade]

I got Visa and dining. =/ Can get my grandmother to do it for me, haha.

["a"]

Credit cards don't matter. You need an actual Japanese bank account, she will need to fill out the form with her details then and stamp the form with her hanko (or whatever it is called) and all of your deliveries will go to her and she will need to pay in cash when she receives them.

[mitboi]

how do the milo bearbricks look?

[Blackspade]

Ah I see, I thought they automaticly cash it out of your credit card when you order an item.

["a"]

how do the milo bearbricks look?

[The Locust]

No new inventory as of yet. Goddamnit.

["a"]

[The Locust]

Yeah I guess he tricked us this week. What a disappointment.

["a"]

Today: new nfs sharks. Black with red camo hood and purple/blue (?) with white hood. I went for the latter as I think the combo is better.

[The Locust]

Good looking out on the update "a"!!! If I ever meet you, drinks on me.

Copped a black/red in size L. This'll be my 5th shark, so make an offer I can't refuse. Buy it now if you PM me.

[plasticfish]

Way too many sharks...and I don't think these NFS versions are nice too...

[DRON61]

Thanks Nigo.... Thanks for using the scraps and pieces of your last 16 shark hoodies and mish-moshing a new colorway together.... and then makin them NFS.....OOOOOOOO exclusive....Lol!

[ChiLoZ]

:D :D :D :D

FUCK!!! haha First gen sharks are and ALWAYS will be.. the hottest sharks... especially navy and olive green..


These sharks are sure goin' to make prices drop on other sharks aswell

[SIGN]

yes i do,there're too many sharks and nigo really should change his designer.

thats what im saying, put my ass in there haha, seriously, they need someone that hears the people
but i guess hes the one with the company going on 14 years now, so... lol

[DRON61]

They might aswell make one more to make it an even 30.......

[SIGN]

he should have at least stopped em at 25

[medina]

i heard before the way he got started was making his own clothes and selling them in person to people at clubs and stuff and he did what was hot and listened to feedback alot. he needs to get in touch with the people, your right.

["a"]

He started with a hole in the wall shop, giving half to celebrities and selling half, of very very small size runs. I have heard a few tims now that he has a hefty tax bill to pay so that would explain a lot of the re-releases and constant drops these days.

[The Locust]

You guys are seeing them as "shark hoodies". I see em as "hoodies." The shark is still a great design, so I still like em.

But I agree his creativity mojo is running out. Better for the people who still want one cuz i'm sellin em for cheap!

[CinderblocK]

i think the next OD will be tigers....ultimate camo tigers, crazy camo tigers, etc, etc, etc.....pass pass pass pass.....

[ronsta]

how long does it take for nfs to deliver again? i forgot. my last item was the white milo shadows and i remember that shipped faster than the ursus shirt.

[socold57]

anybody gots pics of red or blue camo without bape lettering

[The Locust]

Usually 2 weeks. Give or take a few days.

[EveryonesADamnBapeFiend]

Barfff to those hoodies. Meh.

[Andrew]

wow....more sharks...sweet!

[Undftd]

BAPE is becoming TACKY..............................WOt the fuck MORE SHARKS..............

They really r taking the piss......

i concur

buy my shark guys :D

[astroboy1018]

those sharks are the worst ever....absolutely crap

[allcity67]

Sharks are still the freshest hoody out. You guys just love to complain about shit.

And the fish hoody is real dope. I saw them in person and I'm def copping the white and red. Its way fresh.

I wonder if most of the people on here actually like Bape or do they just come here to complain and resell.

In the words of killa "Shit is disgusting".

[medina]

how did you see the fish hoody in person?

[Psi Kappa]

too many sharks, but ill still cop one

i'm a big fan of the shark hoodie but come on now. black body with red shark head? wtf? would rather they do full camo sharks...
resell will be shit for these...should be cheap on yahoo jp

[sneakerz 101]

blah... should of went with the 1st series full camo style in the remaining colors

[(B)ape_Child]

they shoulda done half camo then I would be feelin' em

[badboy12910]

^^ cosign

[Daniel_San]

You think Nigo won't milk the full camo as well? Any money it drops before the summer!

[Notorious]

be@rbricks are to urban toys as nike sb's are to kicks

[TonyBG]

Another shark..

[bigyen]

Pleased as hell i got me a more exclusive PONR.
he ain't rapping that design.

[The Knowledge]

THe Shark is a dope design but it has certaintly lost its value. However it makes the OGs more desirable so I guess it evens itself out. Lets just hope he doesn't rinse the Tiger as it will turn a lot of people into resellers even if they get a small amount of profit. Bathing Ape attracted alot of its followers through exclusivity and is now going against what that stands for

[rd ninja]

agreed, i'm wondering if the nfs drops are even more limited than some regular releases at this point...

Perhaps, in the end its always about money and why not reissue hot items while there is still some demand...esp for the ones without sharks.

[(B)ape_Child]

the knowledge I liked your closing sentence sounded like it should have been in an article about what Bape is doing wrong

[The Locust]

Yeah yeah you guys hate this shark, but when I get it i'm gonna rock it like crazy. I'm a huge fan of black/red colorways, and this'll go perfect with the London Bapestas.

How do you feel about the other colorway? Purple body with a white hood?

[markymark23]

the number of sharks is getting ridiculous.

[king qeemon]

the number of sharks is getting ridiculous.

i agree. stop making new sharks!!

[EveryonesADamnBapeFiend]

I'm telling you man, the exclusivity has been lost on Bape a long time ago already. They are becoming a mainstream brand now, a la Sean John, Coogi, Akedmiks, etc.

[allcity67]

What a silly statement to say Bape is like Akademiks now. Its nothing like those brands. Do you forget you can only buy Bape at one store in all of the US? How many of the average people are really looking on bapetalk2.com for resale product??

Plus the quality of Bape products are far and away one of the best out there.

[GrapeApe]

BAPE

is

LIKE

akademiks

truth


its been overexposed



and where im from

if that happens


the brand dies


forever!

yeah i was thinking the same, wear that purple with a blue shark outside that
and the rock the yokohamaz.
rock a black varsity and the purp/white with the shizuokaz(black berries)
i got the purp, didnt want the black/red

how long does it take to arrive, i was told 1-3 weeks, lol, i wonder if ill have the doe when it arrives at my door, hurray for bills LOL.:mad:

[The Locust]

Usually 2 weeks.

[ronsta]

haha, i almost had to run down to the nearest kombini with the delivery guy when my last shipment came and he asked me to pay up.

[SIGN]

hahaha, yeah im thinking the same thing, the closest thing i got to me is 7/11 but they dont accpet my bank :mad:
so i gotta go to Lawson like 10 mins away
have you been to am/pm, how is it, also, hows that coldstone in harujuku? anyone hit it up ?

[allcity67]

Agh I cant even reply to this thread anymore.

[j2daedubblef]

Agh I cant even reply to this thread anymore.

uhhhhh you just did???????????

[SIGN]

^hehehe
damn one of them just arrived, either the shark or the re-release OG camo, i think its that one
but i dont have any damn money, but hes cool, hell come back after my school, nice

[j2daedubblef]

^^^^^^^^^^^
cool what color did you get? i didn't know you had to pay when it arrived...ps. happy bday even though i really dont know you haha

[ronsta]

i've seen about a hundred sagawa trucks this week and i've been expecting the shark since day one, haha. when is mine coming?

[dennisrodman91]

^never!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Locust]

Shark should be this monday for you tokyoians, tues/wed for us Osakans.

The delivery you just missed should be the OG Camo, which I got on tues.

["a"]

I am hoping it won't arrive til Thursday, lol.

[Daniel_San]

I am hoping it won't arrive til Thursday, lol.

'a'

Mine came yesterday.

[The Locust]

OG first camo I assume, right?

[Kyotostyles]

So did mine, the 1st camo ones. Are you liking yours Daniel?

[Daniel_San]

It doesn't have the washed look like the OGs, but my OG has been worn to death and now has a hole on the pocket, so had to cop.

[primed]

Plus the quality of Bape products are far and away one of the best out there.

WRONG! bape quality is the shitest! they may look nicer than other brands but the truth is that nigo uses low budget material to make his "BAPE" have you ever had to take your nike gear to the dry cleaners because if you put it in the wash its turns out looking like a reck!!! Noooooo....

["a"]

That is an ignorant comment Primed. So you can wash silk and cashmere in the washing machine, or are those low budget materials? You can wash some Bape items and they turn out fine, but saying Nike quality is better than Bape? Please....

[Snap]

Sorry Primed, I have to agree with "a" - Bape quality, even though it might be put down by other's, is top notch good quality shit, trust me. I have owned ALOT of bape hoodies, jackets, jeans etc (maybe not as much as some dude's), and I can honestly say it's better than any off the sportswear out there. You can wash any Bape item's in the wash, just know what you are doing, and it will turn out fine. :)

[primed]

That is an ignorant comment "a". Why have you even bothered comparing cotton, to silk and cashmere???

Please can you tell me where i said "Nike quality was better than Bape quality"
I used nike as an example becuase they both produces the same type of clothing shirts, hoodys trainers etc.
My clothes are all treated the same way (bape gets treated better obviously) and my nike shirts have lasted years and havent faded. Bape however only manages a few washs before it fades!
You can wash some Bape items and they turn out fine
Yea and the rest..... turns out looking like a reck...

[socold57]

if ya gonna spend good money on bape dont even bother washing
dry clean baby

No offence. Learn to construct an arguament. I was mentioning cashmere and silk because you ar eimplying that materials that can't go in th washing machine are sub standard quality, so I was trying to broaden your horizon. Also you are making a direct comparison to Nike when saying that "have you ever had to take your nike gear to the dry cleaners because if you put it in the wash its turns out looking like a reck!!! Noooooo...." It all depends how you wash soemthing, Nike and Bape prints and materials are different and as such need to be washed differently. Sure Bape tees may fade, but a lot of them look better like that.
Anyway, you can have your opinion and I can have mine, I'm not gonna waste my time arguing with a school kid online.

[geoff]

simmer down.

You just did....

[rd ninja]

bape quality is ok but nothing special esp for the price. i'm much more impressed with what medicom has done with original fake. ppl take their bape stuff to the dry cleaners because of the fetish for vvvvvvnds condition than any actual garment care requirements.

i once put a pair of kicks in the washing machine (the puma black/3m xc, took the insoles out), they survived no problem.

[littercritters]

man its funny seeing people get into heated debate over clothing...geez guys calm down...everyone is entitled to their opinions...

so any guesses on whats coming out next on nfs???

[Bagimana]

hmm crazy camo's :D
