Long awaited and eagerly anticipated, Bape L.A. will finally be opening its doors to the public this Friday on April 25th. This will be the second store stateside, further proving to doubters that the brand is alive and well. In a prime location on Melrose, the surrounding area has become a haven for everything streetwear with KidRobot, Supreme, Crooks & Castles, The Hundreds and adidas Originals all becoming neighbors to the new face in town. Although it is still in question whether or not the L.A. branch will be receiving BAPEXCLUSIVE items, expect to see exclusive drops in celebration of the new store.
