A number of BAPE’s iconic pieces apply a cartoon style to its iconic yellow family. BAPE had everything from hoodies to T-shirts. However, there were a few clear winners. This Bart Simpson x BAPE Baby Milo T-shirt quickly sold out on release day. We still think BAPE x The Simpsons is one of the best collabs ever.
