BAPE keeps its collab momentum going with another big name. The streetwear designer has officially announced a collboration with Canadian rapstar Drake and his clothing label October’s Very Own (OVO).
BAPE announced the new partnership via an Instagram post that featured both the ape and owl logo of the two brands over the signature BAPE camo background, with the caption “A BATHING APE X OCTOBER’S VERY OWN coming soon.”

Soon after, Drake officially shared a trailer for the upcoming drop, which featured high school basketball player Mikey Williams dribbling with the BAPE x OVO hoodie on.

We first caught a sniff of the work-in-progress collaboration back in August. The Instagram page @ovoupdate posted images from the spread of the BAPE Magazine that showcased a few products. The image inclines that the collab will feature T-shirts, hoodies, crewnecks, hats, face masks, and iPhone cases, all of course, being tricked out in BAPE’s signature camouflage.
