Mape Hoodie is a shirt trait in the Milady Maker NFT collection, depicting a full-zip hoodie modelled after the Sta full zip star hoodie produced by A Bathing Ape (BAPE). The name combines "Milady" and "Ape," following the collection's convention of renaming brand references with an "M" prefix.
Background
A Bathing Ape (BAPE) is a Japanese streetwear brand founded in Tokyo's Harajuku district in 1993 by Nigo (Tomoaki Nagao). The brand became one of the defining labels of 2000s streetwear culture, known for its camouflage prints, shark hoodie design, and the Bape Sta sneaker. BAPE's full zip hoodies, characterized by a full front zip that extends over the hood to form a face covering, became widely recognized streetwear objects adopted globally from the early 2000s onwards. The star logo variant applies the brand's signature graphic motifs to this silhouette. BAPE's Harajuku origins and its position within the Japanese streetwear scene that Milady Maker explicitly references make it a natural inclusion in the collection's visual vocabulary.
