A BATHING APE® OUTDOOR COLLECTION

　 新たな出会いに華を添えた桜の季節。地面に散りゆく花びらと、若葉がのぞく葉桜で春の名残を惜しんだ後は、いよいよ初夏の到来を迎える。日本は四季のある国として、一年中アウトドアを楽しむことができるが、新緑に囲まれる初夏、そして水辺で活動できる夏は、キャンプやバーベキュー、また様々なアクティビティを通じて仲間や家族と親睦を深める絶好の季節と言える。

　 普段の生活から離れ、大自然の中で太陽の日差しを浴びる昼間の晴天から、明日への活力をみなぎらせる情緒的な夕暮れを満喫。きっとそんな日のクライマックスは満天の星空が広がっているにちがいない。

The season of cherry blossoms, are a season in which flowers bloom to accompany new encounters. As the petals besprinkle the ground and new leaves spring to life on the branches of the cherry blossom trees, we reluctantly part with spring to welcome the early summer. Blessed with four seasons, Japan is a country where people can enjoy outdoor activities throughout the year. Embracing fresh verdures during its prelude and presenting people with activities along the waterside during its interlude, summer is, without a doubt, the best season to deepen the relationship with family members and friends through activities such as camping and enjoying BBQ.

People leave behind their daily rounds to bask in the sunlight beneath the clear sky while being enveloped by nature, and also to revel in the impassioned dusk which floods. With admirers with the energy for tomorrow, such a day’s climax will undoubtedly be the ever-expanding night sky full of stars.

　 2017年に登場したA BATHING APE® OUTDOOR COLLECTIONで初めて協業したHELINOX (ヘリノックス)。今季も継続展開される「TABLE ONE」と「CHAIR ONE」は、BAPE®の1ST CAMOを配した外観から、アクセサリーのように身につけられるインテリアとしても、またヘリノックスが誇るハイスペックな機能性は、広くアウトドアユーザーまでを満足させるに至った。

A BATHING APE® first collaborated with HELINOX in its OUTDOOR COLLECTION in 2017. This season, the continuously redeveloped “TABLE ONE” and “CHAIR ONE” will feature BAPE®’s 1ST CAMO on their appearance. Wearable like accessories, these interior products will also feature HELINOX’s boasted high functionality, and sure to satisfy anyone, even the most adventurous outdoor users.

　 さらに今季は、以前から構想していたテント、タープが待望のラインアップ。オリジナルカモフラージュ柄で統一された本コレクションは、アウトドアライフのテンションを上げる一方、静寂の中ではムードに合わせて見事にフェードアウト。焚き火を囲み語り合うシーンや、物思いに耽る非日常の場面は、まるで映画の素晴らしいエンドロールのような余韻に浸り、集う人に寄り添うアイテム群に仕上がっている

The long-awaited tent and tarp will also join this season’s product line-up. Featuring a uniformed original camouflage pattern, the collection this time around not only boosts its users’ motivation during their time outdoors, but also works wonderfully to match the mood during quiet moments. Be it sharing your stories while sitting around the campfire, or indulging in nature whilst gazing at an extraordinary sunset, these products are fitted to permeate into your stories like the lingering sound of the wonderful credits roll at the end of a movie, and to pull people closer together.
