A Bathing Ape Store Opens in NYC 01
In late December, with little discernible fanfare, the first ever official North American outpost of the exclusive, quasi-underground
Japanese clothing label
A Bathing Ape (also known as BAPE) hung out its shingle on a cobblestone street in SoHo, NYC. Here is a shot of
the main store window display, which features a moving "kaiten"
of limited edition Bathing Ape sneakers. (A "kaiten" refers to a kind of rotating conveyor belt or carousel used to
ferry small seafood dishes around some large sushi bars in Japan.)
