BAPE partners with Stray Kids to mark the release of the group’s fourth studio album KARMA. The collaboration connects Stray Kids’ creative direction with BAPE’s influence in global streetwear, offering a collection that channels individuality, fandom, and shared cultural energy.
At the center of the release are Stray Kids’ SKZOO avatars, newly interpreted within BAPE’s BABY MILO universe. The crossover introduces the animated characters into BAPE’s visual language, linking two distinct creative worlds. The collection invites fans to express individuality through vivid colors, bold graphics, and reimagined silhouettes that combine playfulness with design precision.
Core pieces include a refreshed version of BAPE’s Shark Hoodie, reimagined in COLOR CAMO variations selected by each group member. The line also features the BAPE STA sneaker, along with graphic tees, college tees, metal pins, and key rings featuring the SKZOO characters alongside the Ape Head and BABY MILO logos. The collection combines signature elements and collectible details, reflecting the shared artistry that links fashion and music.
The collaboration follows Stray Kids’ recent global recognition, including “K-Pop Album of the Year” at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards and “Top Global K-Pop Artist” at the 2024 Billboard Music Awards. These achievements underscore the group’s influence across creative industries and their role in shaping youth culture worldwide.
Launching globally on October 29 through BAPE’s international channels and Stray Kids’ official fan shop, the collaboration opens a new chapter for both brands. A second drop featuring the Shark Hoodie and BAPE STA follows in December, continuing the project’s creative momentum and global reach.
