I wore this a handful of times for special occasions. This has been safely stored in closet, I also just had this professionally dry cleaned before listing!

I have kept this in absolutely incredible condition over the past 2 decades!

This is literally the only listing available of its kind online. I’ve seen only one other Hoodie recently but a different smaller size and claiming to be new but no detailed pics or tag pics but also FYI there is no such thing as this being brand new anywhere! These are so old and sought after (the very first full zip hoodies of their kind) and also beware of bootlegs, the amount of bootlegs I see online is crazy, this design, the dissected milo and the bendys were all heavily bootlegged in the mid 2000’s when Bape was blowing up because of rappers wearing them so it’s hard to find a real one of these, that’s why people selling them don’t go into detail with the pics to try to scam buyers. Seeing an authentic hoody of this kind in this condition is truly a rare sight, the design is absolutely incredible, see the pics. I honestly don’t wear crazy loud stuff anymore and it’s a shame that this is just chilling in the closet, figured it should go to another collector now. I’ve seen authentic pillows for $680 and shorts for $675 so my price for this hoodie since theirs way more material here is a steal!

This is literally the very beginning Bape days when Nigo was blowing Bape up having Kaws help with designs before Kaws became a household name, everything was made in Japan, the sizing was true and the craftsmanship was absolutely impeccable, no one was making designs like this and unfortunately Bape and Kaws never made stuff like this ever again! This is a true collectors item, they didn’t make too many of these either. Probably one of the top 5 most sought after OG Bape x Kaws collabs that exist, again very hard to find.
