"To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of anime legend Dragon Ball, A BATHING APE® and the Dragon Ball franchise are collaborating to present a capsule collection of graphic tees, sweats, and goods such as cushions, tote bags, and mug cups on April 23rd. The line is also set to prelaunch at the BAPE KIDS® pop-up store in Isetan Shinjuku on April 20th."

Sweats
Tees
Goods
A fitting collection overall. I love how seven of the tees are each 'numbered' with their own Dragon Ball at the back but disappointed with the lack of Oozaru,
too obvious, perhaps?

When I first read the title, I thought it was about a company that produced primate shaped soap bars making an DB themed oozaru one.

What a strange group shot on some of those tees/hoodies. Is the cast supposed to be exploding out of my stomach? What's with those white blobs around the top left? Are they making some type of shape? A monkey's head?
I do like the design that references the manga covers. And, how pre-Z centric it is.

I'm not entirely sure I'd get any of these myself, but I do like how adorable some of the art is. So much so I had to snip part of one of them for an avatar.

The shape is of the
A BATHING APE® logo and although I'm probably grasping at straws, maybe it's for those who want to show they 'eat, live and breathe' the franchise?
I hope for and wonder what a collaboration for the 30th anniversary of Z would include, there's so (if not too) much to work with from each arc.
