The BAPE ABC Shark Bandana Blue debuted as an accessory item in the Fall/Winter 2019 A Bathing Ape collection. This accessory hails from the Japanese fashion house that burst on to the scene in 1993 and has dominated streetwear ever since.
The blue BAPE ABC Shark Bandana is a square piece crafted from 100% cotton. Separated into two diagonal halves, one half is the classic BAPE camo pattern in shades of blue and the other half is solid black. Both halves feature the eyes and teeth-filled mouth of a shark, a popular motif in BAPE designs. The bandana also features "WGM" in varsity-type lettering, a BAPE logo which stands for World Gone Mad.
The detail of this colorful piece that our experts appreciate most is the globally recognizable A Bathing Ape branding, the picture of an ape head, which is subtly placed in the bottom-left corner. The BAPE ABC Shark Bandana Blue debuted on July 6, 2019, at an original price of $45 retail.
