Japanese streetwear brand A Bathing Ape aka BAPE has had many collaborators and brand collaborations over the years, but none as silly and excellent as this. Our frequent pals A Tiny City Printing Press sent us this project this morning.

Take a peep at these 6 shirts then save up three weeks worth of allowance to buy one!
