BAPE Space Camo Shark Mask Black

The BAPE Space Camo Shark Mask Black is a face mask featuring a Black camouflage print as the base, with images of two sets of shark teeth encircling the center of the mask, accented by a celestial overlay print. The rear of the mask features a white star within a circle branding, and there are ventilation perforations on the front. A Bathing Ape or BAPE is a Japanese streetwear clothing and lifestyle brand operating out of Tokyo since 1993. BAPE is known for their bold imagery, such as their ape head artwork, as well as their use of shark jaws. The shark jaws artwork takes inspiration from World War II fighter planes, and BAPE became known for applying it to a hoodie and now using it in a trompe l’oeuil method on a face mask. In our opinion, the best feature of the Camo Shark Mask is that its star print glows in the dark, which is highly uncommon in masks. The BAPE Space Camo Shark Mask Black released on June 29, 2019, and retailed at $85.
