Rare archive piece from the iconic 2009 collaboration between A Bathing Ape (BAPE) and the Teriyaki Boyz (led by Nigo, Pharrell, and Verbal). This features the "Shark" mouth graphic and "Teriyaki Source" sharp print on the back - a holy grail for BAPE collectors.

Condition:

Overall, this sweatshirt is in Vibrant Archive Condition. The red color is exceptionally crisp and has not faded. The screen print is in fantastic shape with no major cracking, which is rare for a 15+ year-old piece.

Full Transparency on Flaws:

I have documented some subtle surface marks to ensure no surprises upon delivery:

* Oil Marks: There are a few faint oil spots (back of sleeve, lower right side, and lower right back).

* Shadowing: Two slightly darkened (bluish/grayish) areas just below the front collar.

* Note: Because the red fabric is so saturated and has a natural sheen, these marks are incredibly difficult to see in natural or room light (I only noticed them under bright studio lamps). I have included high-exposure "markup" photos with arrows to point them out.

* Tag Size: Medium

* Fit Note: 2009-era BAPE fits slightly smaller than modern US sizing. Please refer to the measurements below for a perfect fit.
