Those familiar with END. Clothing as a retailer will know it doesn't exactly shy away from the idea of collaboration. In the past few years alone, the Newcastle-born distributor has collaborated with the whos-who of the industry, but this latest collection might just take the cake. Marking a milestone moment, END. x A BATHING APE have joined forces to produce a retro collection purely inspired by the aesthetics behind the sport of bowling.

It's a widely known fact that A BATHING APE has looked to classic Americana styles for inspiration in a near 3-decade lifespan, meaning this collection isn't forced but instead crafted with expertise. Included, we find bowling shirts, varsity jackets, tees, bowling balls and pins, and even a fresh rendition of the BAPESTA footwear silhouette. Naturally, the bowling shirt sits at the centre of the collection with off-white and burgundy hues tied together on display, complete with bespoke prints on both sides.

For the footwear side of things, this latest BAPESTA model is totally reminiscent of footwear found in bowling alleys. Sat atop a gum sole, this model flaunts hues of burgundy, green and off-white. For those looking to get their hands on the END. x A BATHING APE collection, it will launch on the 3rd of December via the END. Launches platform.
