What do you get when kawaii meets the street? Well, you’ve got BAPE’s latest Pokémon collab with department store Isetan.
Everybody’s favourite pocket monsters will be making their way to a collection of limited edition monochrome tees, with each piece sporting a cutesy, block-looking Poké print, as well as a cartoon-style motif of BAPE’s logo.
And yes, there’s no such thing as Gen two, three, or four over here. We’re back to the OG’s of the old school, with the tees featuring original characters like Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur.
Professor Oak would be proud.
Check out the full collection below:
We guess legendaries just aren’t as adorable, huh?
The collection will take place as part of an Isetan pop-up from August 16 to 21, and will be held at Isetan’s Shinjukju location, with a further release on September 2 at BAPE stores in locations like Harajuku, Shibuya, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, and Sapporo.
It will also mark the first time BAPE has officially worked with Pokémon, and judging from all the designs, we hope that it won’t be the last time either. After all, is there any reason to stop catching em’ all?
