A while back, NIGO sold A Bathing Ape to I.T. from Hong Kong. Thus, several fans immediately got to wondering what would happen to NIGO and Pharrell’s Billionaire Boys Club. Rumor has it that Jay-Z reportedly purchased the licensing rights to produce and distribute all things BBC. However, it seems as though that was mere hyperbole because the latest bit of news says that Jay-Z is simply going to be a partner of the brand from now on. Either way, it seems as though we might be seeing some Jay-Z influenced BBC products soon. How do you feel about this possibility?

We all know about Nike’s artist series, especially the collaboration with Pharrell to create the Nike Dunk High Pharrell’s. But what we didn’t know was the unreleased sample from the shoe that was made in the form of a snakeskin Nike Dunk High. That’s right, before the Nike Dunk High Pharrell came the Nike Dunk High Pharrell Sample in snakeskin. The shoe uses a snakeskin upper, instead of the black leather upper. Other than the snakeskin, the shoe is exactly the same as the original, with the red laces, translucent sole, brain symbol, swoosh, and numbered tongue tag.

In 2008, Bape released a Spongebob-themed version of the Bapesta.
