BAPE 1st Camo Shark Tee 'Black / Green'

The BAPE 1st Camo Shark Tee 'Black / Green' continues A Bathing Ape’s legacy of bold streetwear with a design that merges Japanese urban aesthetics and global pop culture influence. Revered for its instantly recognisable shark motif, this tee exemplifies the brand’s consistent use of provocative graphics, camouflage, and premium cotton construction — an ethos that has defined BAPE since its founding in 1993 by Nigo in Ura-Harajuku, Tokyo. Overview This edition of the BAPE 1st Camo Shark Tee features the brand’s signature 1st Camo print in green across the sleeves and back, contrasted by a solid black cotton base. The front center is emblazoned with the aggressive half-zip shark face — a design element originally derived from military fighter planes and made iconic through BAPE’s full-zip hoodies. Unlike other iterations, this tee opts for a frontal symmetrical placement of the shark jaw, eyes, and sharp teeth, maintaining visual intensity without the need for a zipper. Constructed from 100% heavyweight cotton, the shirt maintains both structure and comfort, while a small Ape Head logo tab on the sleeve offers subtle brand authentication. Designed in Japan and typically produced in limited runs, this piece is a mainstay in both high fashion and streetwear rotations globally. Key Highlights • Signature BAPE 1st Camo Print: Classic green camouflage sleeves and back, a hallmark of the brand since the late ‘90s. • Iconic Shark Motif: Bold shark graphic on the chest, originally inspired by WWII-era military aircraft, central to BAPE’s visual identity. • Premium 100% Cotton Fabric: Heavyweight Japanese cotton offers durability, comfort, and long-lasting structure.
