From the Bapesta to adidas

The most famous in-house silhouette is the Bapesta from 2002, BAPE's reinterpretation of the Nike Air Force 1, which became a cultural streetwear icon. The collaboration with adidas dates back to the "Super Ape Star" from 2003, but from 2018 took on a new, ongoing form: the Superstar x BAPE brought the distinctive camo pattern and the shark-face print to one of adidas' classics.

In addition, projects appeared with brands like Vans and New Balance, each time bearing the direct, recognizable BAPE signature. It is streetwear heritage that combines scarcity and recognizability.

Which BAPE gives off the strongest hype signal?

The Hypescore reads the signal strength of every BAPE colorway. Community votes, resale movement, search demand and scarcity together decide how much hype a sneaker gives off, expressed in GSv. On the left the strongest hype signals, on the right the colorways just being picked up and rising fast.
