BAPE “A SUPER APE” collection debuted on January 25, during KidSuper's runway show at Paris Fashion Week. The show, From a Place I Have Never Been, was a collaboration with performance artist Daniel Wurtzel. He introduced the performance art elements to the presentation.
BAPE has partnered with KidSuper, the fashion brand led by designer Colm Dillane. This collaboration is set to launch a new collection, A SUPER APE, which will be out in Spring 2025. More details about pricing and availability will be announced soon.
BAPE “A SUPER APE” collection: What's new?
A SUPER APE is part of the BAPE COLLECTIVE, BAPE's top-level collaboration series. This means KidSuper got special permission to use BAPE's old designs, allowing Colm Dillane to create new versions of their classic styles.
Mahmoud el Salahy, the BAPE CEO, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating:
"This collaboration celebrates the ultimate superpower—fearless self-expression. Debuting at Paris Fashion Week, the BAPE® by KidSuper collection bridges Harajuku, Brooklyn, and Paris, continuing our legacy as a pioneer of bold collaborations."

Colm Dillane on BAPE x KidSuper partnership
Colm Dillane has a deep connection to BAPE. Earlier, he would set up a makeshift screen-printing station near BAPE store drops to sell his designs directly to streetwear fans.
Dillane shared his thoughts on the collaboration:
"I like walking into the unknown—going to places I have never been, trying things I have never done, and fearlessly jumping into the unknown. The outcome is always uncertain—sometimes extraordinary, sometimes a lesson—but it’s always inspiring."
Dillane, who has worked with many brands, designed this collection to connect different cultures and bring brands together.
