Paris Saint-Germain & BAPE Preview New Collaboration

PSG are making more noise in the lifestyle game by announcing an upcoming collaboration with Japanese streetwear brand BAPE. Continuing to create hype off the pitch with a strong focus on collaboration and youth cultures, the Parisians go again with another high profile link up.

Kicking things off by previewing a number of statement pieces from a series that will officially drop on December 1, PSG x BAPE have come together for a special edition collection that will build on the club's streetwear reputation that was elevated by the Jordan Brand collab earlier this year. Only this partnerships with BAPE will be far more difficult to get hold of.

The ultra limited 13-piece capsule includes a shark hoodie with trademark full zip and PSG branding, several tees and a long red-and-blue camo jacket which is rumoured to be the most exclusive from the collection with only seven being made and sold at €750 a pop. Less than 100 hoodies will also add to the desirability of the collection with your best chances of snagging something coming in the shape of the tees. The capsule is completed with a range of accessories including a scarf and bag – both of which will debut on Dec 1 upon release.

The collaboration between BAPE and Paris Saint-Germain coincides with the first anniversary of BAPE's flagship store in the Le Marais district, which opened in early December last year, and this is where the first pieces of the collection will drop on Saturday. The entire collection will get a full global release at a later date.
