BAPE 1st Camo Sweat Shorts (SS22) Yellow

The BAPE 1st Camo Sweat Shorts in Yellow from SS22 are a 100% cotton fleece short constructed in A Bathing Ape's iconic 1st Camo pattern in yellow colorway, featuring slash pockets on both sides, a rubber shark print on the back, a branded name tag on the left hem, an elasticated waistband with a drawcord for adjustable sizing, and BAPE's signature integration of the Shark Face motif alongside the camouflage ground pattern that makes the 1st Camo in Yellow one of the brand's most immediately recognizable and most seasonally energetic camo expressions. The 1st Camo is BAPE's foundational proprietary camouflage pattern, introduced in 1993 and continuously deployed across the brand's full product range as its most iconic visual signature, featuring the brand's Ape Head graphic hidden within the camouflage spots in a Where's Waldo-style discovery detail that became a defining characteristic of the pattern's collector appeal and that distinguishes authentic BAPE camo from any other brand's camouflage in the global streetwear market. The Yellow 1st Camo applies the camouflage color palette in a warm yellow, beige, and brown combination that creates the most vibrant and visibility-forward expression of the 1st Camo across its available colorway range, with the higher contrast and brighter tonal values making the Yellow version the most immediately eye-catching and most season-specific of the 1st Camo Sweat Shorts colorways.

BAPE's sweat shorts program applies the brand's signature camo and graphic language to the cotton fleece short format that the brand has consistently produced since the mid-1990s as one of the most wearable and most broadly purchased categories in its seasonal lineups, with the SS22 season representing the spring-summer release window when yellow camo naturally aligns with warm-weather streetwear dressing. The rubber shark print on the back of the shorts adds the Shark Face motif that BAPE deploys across its most popular ready-to-wear pieces, with the shark print's iconic jaw-and-eye graphic appearing on the rear seat of the shorts as a discovery element that matches the hidden Ape Head within the camo ground for a layered BAPE iconography approach. At $160 retail the Yellow 1st Camo Sweat Shorts are positioned at the standard BAPE premium shorts price point, released April 23, 2022 as part of BAPE's SS22 seasonal collection, with the brand's standard recommendation that buyers size up at least one full size from their typical US sizing due to BAPE's consistently smaller-than-standard Japanese fit standards.

The BAPE 1st Camo Sweat Shorts SS22 Yellow was released on April 23, 2022 with a retail price of $160.
