BAPE® x Spotify x SYNA – limited edition collaboration featuring Central Cee

BAPE® has prepared a surprise for fans by teaming up with Spotify and the SYNA brand for a special, limited-edition collection. The project is part of a broader initiative by the platform that celebrates the creators behind the contemporary music scene. Popular rapper Central Cee serves as the creative director of the collection.

Central Cee – the voice of a new generation of British rap

Central Cee gained global recognition in a flash, a rarity in British rap. The London-born rapper debuted during the drill boom but quickly developed his own style: a blend of melodic flow, raw storytelling, and a distinctive, minimalist style that fans around the world aspire to emulate.

Hits like "Doja," "Commitment Issues," and "Sprinter" (a collaboration with Dave) catapulted him into the global spotlight—Billboard, festivals, millions of views, and status as one of the most important representatives of the British scene. His image has always been strongly linked to fashion. Central Cee wears refined yet simple, fitted tracksuits, oversized sweatshirts, and athletic wear, and regularly chooses iconic streetwear and high-end brands. The artist undoubtedly has a huge influence on fashion trends today, serving as an idol and inspiration for fans worldwide.

BAPE® – the iconic brand that laid the foundations for modern streetwear

A Bathing Ape, or BAPE®, is one of the most important brands in the history of streetwear. Founded in 1993 in Tokyo by Nigo, it was distinguished by:
– expressive graphics,
– BAPE Camo camouflage,
– iconic Shark Hoodies,
– limited drops and collaborations

The brand quickly became a status symbol—from Tokyo to New York to Los Angeles. Pharrell, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne wore it, and its influence later entered mainstream menswear. BAPE®'s collaborations with giants like adidas, Coca-Cola, and Marvel demonstrated that Nigo's aesthetic could adapt to virtually any aesthetic. Today, BAPE® is one of the most significant brands bridging the worlds of hip-hop and streetwear.

BAPE® x Spotify x SYNA Collection

The capsule showcases clean, streetwear elements that fuse BAPE® branding with the SYNA aesthetic. The collection includes a sweatshirt and pants featuring a modified SYNA Bape camo motif in two colorways: purple and green. T-shirts featuring a combination of the Bape and SYNA logos, as well as T-shirts featuring an illustrated image of Central Cee and Babymilo, will also be available.
