In celebration of two decades of streetwear innovation, A BATHING APE is marking the 20th anniversary of its iconic shark full zip hoodie. NIGO first introduced the shark hoodie in 2004, which quickly gained a cult following. Over the years, it’s easily become one of the most recognizable pieces in streetwear history.

This milestone anniversary will feature the re-release of the classic 1st and 2nd edition shark full zip hoodies, offering you an opportunity to revisit the origins of this legendary design.

To commemorate the occasion, BAPE® is hosting pop-up events in Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, and Milan. Tokyo in particular will host the release of an exclusive capsule collection at Miyashita Park. Additionally, a special “country pack” featuring 10 different colorways, each representing a different country, will also debut.

While the collections already dropped in Japan, you can get your hands on the international release of the commemorative hoodies starting November 23, at official BAPE® stores and the bape.com web store.

Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to the brand, the shark full zip hoodie’s return offers a chance to own a slice of fashion history. Visit the BAPE website here.
