Fresh off the release of LEMONADE and ahead of their Lollapalooza debut this weekend, aespa is adding another milestone to an already stacked year with an official collaboration alongside A BATHING APE.
The BAPE x aespa collection puts the K-pop group’s stamp on a lineup of the Japanese streetwear label’s staples, including graphic tees, hoodies, and accessories. BABY MILO takes center stage throughout the capsule, reimagined alongside aespa-inspired graphics that blend the group’s futuristic identity with one of streetwear’s most recognizable mascots.
The collaboration arrives as aespa continues its global rise. After taking home Group of the Year at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards, the quartet earned a nomination for Best Female K-Pop Artist at the 2026 American Music Awards. Their second full-length album, LEMONADE, dropped earlier this year, with the group now preparing to kick off its 2026–27 aespa LIVE TOUR – SYNK : COMPLæXITY following their first-ever performance at Lollapalooza in Chicago.
The BAPE x aespa collection releases August 1st via Complex Shop (12pm ET), BAPE.com, and BAPE STORE locations in Chicago and Los Angeles. Check out the preview below.
