Bape has released some new items as part of their Fall/Winter 2008 collection. We like a lot the general trend of Bape coming back to some more classic pieces, that stand out because of quality rather than in-your-face design. This delivery has a bit of both, with the cut & sew taking the bigger portion.

Some nice plaid blazers, madras patchwork shirts, classic oxfords and Bapesta “Trail” pack are part of the latest releases. Their full zip panda hoodie got a make-over and comes this season in fleece.

Have a look at the entire line-up of new Bape Fall/Winter 2008 goods after the jump.

You might have noticed that we do not report all that much anymore about Bape. As inspiring and innovative as the brand was, we don’t feel that they are who they used to be anymore. But one still has to respect what they created and all the things that they started, that nowadays seem so normal, but were ground-breaking at the time when they introduced it. So, some of their special projects we definitely still like, such as the recent Bape x DC Comics collaboration.
After the recent release of the hoodies, crewnecks and toys featuring imagery of the DC Comic Heroes Superman, Batman, The Flash and Wonderwoman, Bape now releases the matching Bapesta sneakers. Just like the Marvel collaboration Bapesta series, these are also released in special packaging. They are now available at Cliff Edge.
Check out the other two models after the jump.
