A BATHING APE® (BAPE®), the globally renowned Japanese streetwear brand, has announced an exciting collaboration with Houston-based rapper and Cactus Jack artist, Don Toliver.
This partnership brings together the iconic style of BAPE® and the distinct musical artistry of Toliver for a collection that celebrates the intersection of music and fashion.
Since signing with Travis Scott's Cactus Jack label in 2018, Don Toliver has carved out a name for himself in the music industry with his electrifying performances and collaborations with some of the biggest names in music. Known for his magnetic stage presence and unique sound, Toliver's rise has firmly established him as one of the most compelling figures in hip-hop today.
The T-shirts feature two distinct creative approaches—one inspired by the brand’s iconic STA and the other featuring BABY MILO®. In the former, the graphics combine the "DON" and STA motifs in pink and purple colors inspired by Love Sick. In the BABY MILO® design, BABY MILO® peeks out from behind Don Toliver, who is shown wearing his performance outfit for Hardstone Psycho. Both are available in white and black.
The hoodie is based on the classic "SHARK HOODIE" and features a "DON" patch printed on pink BAPE® CAMO. The fur on the hood is removable to allow for varied creative expressions.
The sweatpants are in pink BAPE® CAMO and feature a "DON" patch. They can be worn as a set with the hoodie for a full look, or individually in either black or pink colorway. The sweatpants have a wide, straight silhouette with a flare at the hem, so they pair perfectly with voluminous sneakers.
The fur jacket in camel color features pink and purple “BAPE®” and "DON" logos embroidered on the front and back.
The "ROAD STA" shoes are in a pink and purple pastel color scheme. The glossy finish, color-blocked design, and premium heel embroidery deliver an elevated fashion-forward silhouette inspired by Don Toliver's iconic style.
