We’ve been waiting patiently to feast our eyes on the new collab between A Bathing Ape (BAPE) and Lionel Messi‘s Inter Miami club, the result is now here and serves as Inter Miami’s biggest fashion transformation since they dropped the Messi jersey.
The legendary Japanese streetwear brand has reimagined Inter Miami‘s recognisable pink jersey in a captivating pink camouflage design, a pattern that BAPE have become known for over its impressive 30 years in the industry.
Highlighted by appearances from Inter Miami players DeAndre Yedlin, Josef Martinez, Leo Campana, and Drake Callender, the vibrant collaboration can be seen in the gallery and video below.
BAPE x Inter Miami isn’t limited to a mere collaborative shirt. Alongside the co-branded & pink camo shirt is a wider collection of apparel featuring more camo patterns, such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, shorts, and caps.
BAPE’s iconic ape logo and Inter Miami’s badge have both been molded together, with BAPE’s signature camo pattern unapologetically being celebrated on a logo design that’s clearly gone for bold over subtle.
The BAPE x Inter Miami collection is currently available through BAPE’s namesake website and the Inter Miami team store. Also arriving is an exclusive pink T-shirt that’s been made solely as an exclusive piece of merch to be sold only at BAPE‘s Miami store.
Given that BAPE has a popular BAPE store in Miami and Inter Miami proudly embraces its Miami identity, the collaboration couldn’t be more fitting.
It’s important to recall that BAPE recently celebrated its 30th anniversary with an expansive runway collection. The sheer size of its latest collection hints towards more upcoming collabs in the works and possibly even more to come from BAPE x Inter Miami.
Considering BAPE, Inter Miami and even Messi share a longstanding partnership with adidas, maybe we could see Adidas enter the BAPE x Inter Miami collab?
