The KidSuper x BAPE Collection Releases April 2025
Published
Pop fashion designer Colm Dillane, better known as KidSuper, has grown his brand into a global empire that presents at fashion weeks and works with various partners. Back in January, Dillane and co. debuted the first KidSuper x BAPE collection, spanning classic staple pieces like the full-zip shark hoodie to mule versions of the brand's iconic BAPE STA model. Before the collection's full release later this week, BAPE and KidSuper have employed streamers and internet personalities Kai Cenat and Ray for the launch campaign.
The two superstar internet icons are dressed head to toe in KidSuper x BAPE products. As mentioned, the collection ranges from staple pieces to footwear and accessories. KidSuper's reimagining of the ABC Camo pattern synonymous with BAPE is introduced in the capsule. Here, Colm adds his signature face and eye detail to create what BAPE calls "SUPER CAMO."
Most important to us is the footwear component of the collection, which features six different products, three BAPE STAs, and three mule versions of the sneaker. The three BAPE STAs get added KidSuper details applied to the toebox, vamp, BAPE star logo, and lateral heel, incorporating the face and eye motif throughout the collection. A similar redesign is present on the mules, though they forgo the toebox face in favor of SUPER CAMO overlays. All the sneakers come packaged in a special bubble packaging usually reserved for action figures, containing comic book-style artwork.
The KidSuper x BAPE Collection will release on April 12, 2025, through KidSuper, BAPE, and select retailers online and in-store. As of this writing, retail pricing has not yet been confirmed.
