AAPE × ERASED
Skate the Look: A Fresh Take on Identity and Streetwear
AAPE BY *A BATHING APE® unveils its first collaboration with ERASED, the Los Angeles based skate culture brand founded by skater and filmmaker, Luis Mora. United by a shared vision of street expression and style, the partnership explores the intersection of skateboarding and fashion, encouraging self-reinvention through movement and transformation.
The collection begins with skateboarding culture in mind, reimagining AAPE’s streetwear staples through the lens of skater-preferred loose silhouettes. Signature elements include the collaborative logo “aaperased” and AAPE’s iconic grey-and-white camo applied across cozy essentials from the collection including hoodies and sweatpants. A soft pink palette meets the rugged camo, merging classic skatewear silhouettes with a refined fashion edge.
Key pieces include hoodies, graphic tees, and knit hat showcasing bold design details: co-branded logo merging AAPE’s MOONFACE with ERASED’s skull motif, and a burning daisy graphic that channels ERASED’s rebellious spirit. The result is a collection infused with the nostalgic energy of 90s skatewear and retro athletic style.
More than a collaboration, AAPE × ERASED is a cultural dialogue—a tribute to skateboarding’s raw creativity and its power to reshape identity through style.
ABOUT AAPE BY *A BATHING APE®
At A BATHING APE®, creative concepts never cease to emerge. In spring-summer 2012, a brand-new diffusion line AAPE BY \*A BATHING APE® (abbreviated as AAPE, reads A-A-P-E) was conceived to consolidate a young and hip message. With an eye to the young menswear market, AAPE aims at creating a simple, light and fashionable wardrobe for the new generation of fashionistas. With comfortable cut heavily trended in every season, each item at AAPE is designed to become an everyday staple. The AAPE logo, featuring prominently a graphic round face of the ape, is a younger version of the original A BATHING APE® Moon Face. Its monochromatic design is immediately recognizable thanks to its strikingly simple yet unmistakably powerful rendition, heralding a brand that is bound to become the most sought-after among young fashion-forward fans.
