The Michael Jackson x BAPE Varsity Jacket

The legacy of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, has left an enduring imprint on both the music industry and the global cultural landscape. Even in the present day, his timeless tracks continue to resonate through airwaves, and his unparalleled dance moves remain unmatched. Demonstrating his lasting impact, the influential streetwear brand BAPE is preparing to immortalize the essence of Jackson through an exclusive clothing collaboration, in partnership with Michael’s estate. This Japanese label has previously showcased its adeptness at merging pop culture with fashion, and this forthcoming release is poised to strike a chord with both devoted MJ fans and aficionados of streetwear.

Central to this collection is the pièce de résistance: a varsity jacket meticulously crafted to replicate the one famously worn by Michael Jackson in his groundbreaking “Thriller” music video. Each of these jackets will be individually numbered and restricted to a mere 50 pieces, further heightening their exclusivity. Infused with BAPE’s distinctive elements, the jacket features the brand’s iconic star logo adorning the sleeves, a striking APE head on the chest, and a co-branded emblem gracing its back.
