Reading time!

Finally received the Bape retrospective book in the mail today. Amazon shipping is super fast, ordered it on Wednesday night got it Friday morning, nice! The book was released in conjunction with Bape's 15th Anniversary as a commemorative piece detailing Bape past, present and future. Although there's nothing new that's unknown to Bape fans it still contains a vast collection of imagery from Bape's huge archives that makes for pleasant viewing. Amongst the images there's a really detailed interview with Nigo. It's interesting to read that Nigo rejected the chance to go public with Bape, even though he would have made a killing on the stock market. It must be hard trying to maintain the allure of a 'limited edition' brand on Bape's global scale, but it sounds like Nigo is going to try his best to make it happen. All in all it's a good read and it comes highly recommended as one the only proper books on Bape that's written in English - for that fact alone you should buy.




P.S. OG Bape is soo dope!
