Unleash Your Inner Superhero.
Nigo (née Tomoaki Nagao) loves himself some classic superheroes, and this fall he’s expressing that love in hoodie form.
Collaborating with DC comics, Bape is bringing out this Batman hoodie; patterned after the old-school Adam West style threads and with a pointy-eared cowl hood that zips up enough to keep your face just barely exposed on any midnight crime-fighting runs. The collection also includes Superman and the Flash non-hooded sweatshirts, and each of the three comes paired with a little plastic sidekick toy molded to represent the appropriate superhero.
Being a Marvel guy myself, I’m partial to the Anticon Hoodie. Perhaps because it reminds me of Peter Parker’s first wrestling costume.
The French-designed Anticon hoodie went on sale to the public in October 2005, and is available in four colors (and all the expected sizes) from their online store for 85.00 €, or around $115. The Bape hoodie and sweatshirts are expected to retail for $439 and $351 respectively when they hit store shelves in Autumn.
