The BAPE Logo was Inspired by the 1968 Film, “Planet of the Apes” 🦍 A lot of references for A Bathing Ape predominantly came from Planet Of The Apes memorabilia. Slogans, characters, names, color palettes, & illustrations were all re-interpreted into shirts, hoodies, jeans, sneakers, accessories, and more. NIGO meticulously collected everything Planet Of The Apes to fully understand the references of his designs. By making small slight adjustments and simply branding the slogans on clothing, he gave the movie and its iconic imagery appeal to a new generation and led the Urahara street movement.
