Streetwear evolves with culture.
Every generation borrows from the past, reinterprets the present and creates something of its own.
For Fall/Winter 2026, AAPE BY *A BATHING APE® presents three distinct collections inspired by the people, places and creative movements shaping today's youth culture. From classic American sportswear and the energy of urban streets to ideas born beyond the mainstream, Campus Club, Street Drift and Underground each represent a different perspective of modern streetwear while sharing the same AAPE spirit.
Built around new camouflage developments, elevated fabrications and refined silhouettes, the collection continues AAPE's evolution through products designed for everyday life.
AAPE CAMPUS CLUB
Drawing inspiration from American collegiate culture, AAPE CAMPUS CLUB reinterprets classic varsity codes through AAPE's signature streetwear lens. The collection introduces a new three-letter varsity logo alongside collegiate camouflage, bold monogram graphics and baseball-inspired detailing. Hero pieces include tweed plaid down jackets, washed camouflage corduroy sets, four-pocket work jackets and reversible monogram sweats, bringing timeless campus references into a modern everyday wardrobe.
A palette of pale pink, grass green, school badge yellow, khaki, and ivory creates a warm, nostalgic mood while suede, corduroy, tweed, PU leather and premium knit constructions add richness and texture throughout the collection.
Whether worn together or styled individually, Campus Club celebrates the confidence that comes from belonging - without compromising individuality.
AAPE STREET DRIFT
Rooted in skate culture and the rhythm of city life, AAPE Street Drift is designed for those who are always exploring what's next.
Graffiti-inspired artwork, splash ink graphics and subway-inspired artwork appear across gradient camouflage jerseys, hooded workwear jackets, utility vests, washed camouflage denim and relaxed layering pieces. Sportswear and workwear influences come together to create versatile silhouettes that move naturally between different environments and lifestyles.
Powder blue, yellow, purple with royal blue, white, and light grey inject fresh energy into the collection, while jacquard denim, waffle knits, distressed finishes and gradient treatments create depth, texture and visual movement.
Built for movement, Street Drift reflects the energy of a generation constantly on the go.
AAPE UNDERGROUND
Culture rarely begins in the spotlight. It starts underground - where ideas are tested, rules are challenged and originality takes shape. Inspired by hip-hop culture, experimental design and the nostalgic visuals of 1980s horror, the AAPE UNDERGROUND transforms that creative spirit into bold streetwear.
A newly developed tiger-stripe camouflage forms the foundation of the collection, layered with retro horror zombie-inspired graphics, barbed wire motifs and Trompe-l'œil prints. Statement pieces including the wrestling mask hoodie, detachable work pants, 3D-cut denim and the CWU-45P military flight jacket balance creativity with utility.
Vintage washes, distressed finishes, embossed knitwear and DIY-inspired patchwork reinforce the collection's raw visual character, creating pieces for those who express themselves before the rest of the world catches on.
Because every original idea starts somewhere.
The AAPE FW26 Collection starts dropping from July 16, 2026 at AAPE STORES and US.AAPE.com.
ABOUT AAPE BY *A BATHING APE®
At A BATHING APE®, creative concepts never cease to emerge. In spring-summer 2012, a brand-new diffusion line AAPE BY *A BATHING APE® (abbreviated as AAPE, reads A-A-P-E) was conceived to consolidate a young and hip message. With an eye to the young menswear market, AAPE aims at creating a simple, light and fashionable wardrobe for the new generation of fashionistas. With comfortable cut heavily trended in every season, each item at AAPE is designed to become an everyday staple. The AAPE logo, featuring prominently a graphic round face of the ape, is a younger version of the original A BATHING APE® Moon Face. Its monochromatic design is immediately recognizable thanks to its strikingly simple yet unmistakably powerful rendition, heralding a brand that is bound to become the most sought-after among young fashion-forward fans.
