BAPE® Unveils Rave-Ready Spring/Summer 2025 Collection
BAPE® has dropped its highly anticipated Spring/Summer 2025 collection, channeling the pulse and energy of the ’90s and early 2000s rave scene. Themed “RAVE VIBES,” the collection captures the spirit of underground dance culture through bold silhouettes, neon details, and eye-popping graphics.
This season’s lineup features oversized jackets lit with fluorescent accents, metallic cargo pants built for movement, and graphic tops that echo rave flyers and street posters. BAPE® also introduces new takes on its iconic camouflage, including “MAP CAMO,” which overlays global maps with the classic APE FACE, and “PALM TREE CAMO,” blending tropical motifs with tiger stripe elements.
The collection doesn’t stop at apparel. Accessories like glow-in-the-dark bags, futuristic visors, and chunky, rave-ready sneakers complete the look, all designed to keep wearers going from day parties to all-night dance floors. With options for men, women, and kids, the collection encourages bold self-expression across all ages.
BAPE®’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection is now available at official stores and select retailers—ready to light up wardrobes with a dose of nostalgic rave rebellion.

This spring, BAPE ® delivers a punch of nightlife energy straight to its SS25 collection with a campaign that draws heavily from rave culture. Known for its graphic-heavy streetwear and subcultural influence, the brand pushes further into experimental territory with silhouettes and prints designed for after-hours impact. The collection is equal parts house party and fashion statement, loud, bright, and unafraid.
CAMPAIGNS
The campaign imagery reflects the high-voltage inspiration behind the collection. Neon lighting, grainy textures, and strobe-like effects build a scene that evokes underground parties and industrial dance floors. Models pose mid-motion in oversized jackets with fluorescent detailing, metallic cargo pants, and graphic tops that channel early ’90s rave aesthetics.
Both the Men’s and Ladies lines are united by an emphasis on volume and rhythm. Boxy jackets, cropped tops, parachute trousers, and translucent layers give the collection a sense of constant motion. Tie-dye and distorted camo prints reappear throughout, warped and electric. Accessories lean functional: glow-in-the-dark bags, exaggerated visors, and chunky sneakers designed to keep pace through long nights out.
Though rooted in nostalgia, the drop feels current thanks to the way it handles proportion and color. While the classic BAPE® motifs, like the shark hoodie and the ape head logo, remain present, they’ve been remixed into reflective prints and deconstructed graphics. There’s a confidence here that sidesteps trend-chasing in favor of statement dressing.
The April launch is part of the brand’s ongoing exploration of “fearless expression,” a theme that continues to guide its seasonal direction. The rave-inspired SS25 drop leans fully into that ethos, encouraging wearers to embrace clothing as a form of mood and identity, especially in social settings where fashion becomes visual noise.
The collection is now available at select BAPE STORE® locations and online.
