[edit] official site

There is nothing on the bape official site except a link to download an .exe Anyone know what that is about? What is the program and what does it do, is it safe etc. Pretty strange

Read this article it says what it is

This page claims that Bathing Ape was started by the musician Cornelius. That's something I had never heard before. Is there anything to it? --


That is totally erroneous. Cornelius is Nigo's friend. Nigo is a different person than Cornelius.  :^)


[edit] Ext link

I removed the link to SBkicks.com. Not only is this site just advertising, but selling FAPE hoodies! I mean $84.99 for a bape c'mon! I don't see there being a point in having a link for this site. Zapzoid 29 October 2006

I removed a link to a mostly japanese blog, could go in the japan bape article maybe? I also re-added the links that were removed by the person who added his myspace blog. --Amnesicangel 17:08, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hard to find?

I'm a little confused about the part about how the creator likes to set up stores in hard to find places. There's one in Soho! --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 12:42, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Well for example, in Japan, the stores have no sign and are in an area where you wouldn't find it unless you were looking for it (eg: not in a mall plaza). In reference to the store in Soho, that's the ONLY store authorized to sell BAPE apparel in America. In Canada there are only 2 stores (1 chain called GoodFoot) that are allowed to sell BAPE shoes, one store is located in Toronto, the other one in Montreal .WiZZLa 07:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Livestock in Vancouver also sells authentic BAPEsta shoes
As an update to my January 19th comment, Goodfoot no longer carries BAPE shoes, possibly because the brand has lost popularity in Japan and other countries. WiZZLa 03:01, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

re: Soho being the only store authorized to sell in the US, that's not true. the Union store in Los Angeles is also an official retailer.

[edit] YouTube links

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed, feel free to ask me on my talk page and I'll review it personally. Thanks. ---J.S (t|c) 07:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC) ==

[edit] Article Cleanup Co-Ordination Point

Cleanup Co-ordination
This article has recently been tagged as requiring cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.

The article may have been flagged as needing cleanup because it has been suggested that:

  • the article needs formatting, proofreading, or rephrasing in comprehensible English.
  • the article has multiple overlapping problems.
  • the article is very short and might need expanding, removal or merging with a broader article

For a full list of possible problems see Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

As part of the cleanup process, the automated bot PocKleanBot has generated this notice as a focus of cleanup efforts, and also contacted several contributing editors of the article to bring their attention to the problem. You should use this section to discuss possible resolution of the problem and achieve consensus for action. Only when there is a consensus that the article is now cleaned up should you then de-list it by deleting the cleanup tag from the article, this causes the article to drop off the monthly cleanup-needed list page.
