A BATHING APE® (BAPE®), the iconic Japanese streetwear brand, has unveiled its latest high-profile collaboration, this time with Houston rapper and Cactus Jack signee, Don Toliver. This partnership celebrates the fusion of music and fashion, blending Toliver's electrifying artistry with BAPE®’s legendary design legacy for a collection that feels like a masterclass in creativity and style.

Since joining Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Records in 2018, Don Toliver has skyrocketed to fame with his genre-blurring music and larger-than-life stage presence. Known for hits like After Party and No Idea, his unmistakable sound has made him one of hip-hop's most exciting voices. The BAPE® x Don Toliver collection takes inspiration from this meteoric rise, encapsulating his unique energy in every piece.

A Collection That Tells a Story

The BAPE® x DON TOLIVER collection draws on the themes and visuals from Toliver's acclaimed albums Hardstone Psycho and Love Sick. Each piece reflects his creative journey, reinterpreted through the lens of BAPE®’s iconic design philosophy.

T-Shirts: Two standout designs form the collection’s foundation. The first, inspired by BAPE®’s signature STA logo, merges “DON” and STA in a dreamy pink and purple palette reminiscent of Love Sick. The second design features BABY MILO® peeking out from behind a caricature of Toliver in his Hardstone Psycho performance attire, available in classic black and white.

Hoodie and Sweatpants Set: The hoodie, a reimagined version of the legendary SHARK HOODIE, incorporates a bold “DON” patch in pink BAPE® CAMO. The detachable fur hood adds versatility, allowing for multiple styling options. Paired with matching sweatpants in the same camo print, the set creates a statement look. The sweatpants, available in black or pink, feature a flared hem designed to complement chunky sneakers.

Fur Jacket: This camel-colored standout features embroidered pink and purple “BAPE®” and “DON” logos on the front and back, making it a must-have for those who want to turn heads.

“ROAD STA” Sneakers: The collection wouldn’t be complete without footwear. The “ROAD STA” sneakers boast a pastel pink and purple colorway with a glossy finish, detailed color-blocking, and premium embroidery. These kicks are as bold as Toliver’s music, perfect for anyone looking to elevate their streetwear game.

Campaign Lookbook: New York City as a Canvas
