BAPE X Merlion Celebrates Singapore’s 51 Years

  • By Chelsea Tan

Birthdays typically call for joyous celebrations, so what more of a country’s birthday? Following the trend of rising patriotism in the days leading up to the nation’s 51 years, meet A BATHING APE’s National Day Exclusive set. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Merlion, BAPE decks out their T-shirts in two motifs. Pick between the Merlion motif or the BAPE head in our country’s blazing red. Either will give you street style chic meets patriotic oomph.

If merely wearing your heart (for the country) on your sleeve is insufficient, you can also proudly proclaim your feelings with the accompanying BAPE bottle. Or really, if you’re not one to dress in theme (shame on you), at least it’s cool to don threads from a Japanese street brand that collaborates with your nation. It’ll make for a great conversation starter when you go overseas, at the very least – not to mention how cool it looks.

Interested parties will be pleased that the National Day edition T-shirt and bottle set will be launched July 22. With only a few days left to National Day, you better act fast.
