Bape World Coming Soon by Josh Rubin

Bapeworld Comingsoon
Japanese sneaker and street-wear brand, A Bathing Ape has launched their web site at bape.com, but nothing seems to be there. Well, that's not entirely true. There's a splash page with a big download button. I downloaded the file and ran it (with some hesitation). Immediately my firewall went off as the app tried to contact its home server. I let it thru (with a little more hesitation). Once the app loaded there was a 'coming soon' splash screen with the custom Bape camo pattern slowly shifting colors.

Who knows how long 'soon' will take, but I'll check back periodically to see if anything is there (yes, still with hesitation).

Thanks for the tip, Feature!

The most innovative feature is the gator-like fleece sock appended to...
Clae Footwear Fall 2007

After a three-year hiatus Clae footwear returns this fall with a diverse collection of some new styles and old favorites. A mix of sport, style, shoe and sneaker, the brand consistently delivers quality shoes that...

Sneakerplay: The AF1 Playoffs
It's fair to say that we at Team Cool Hunting havn't gone for the whole Nike Air Force 1 anniversary in a huge way, but this collaboration between Nike iD and our favorite social networking site for sneakerheads could change all that.
