Nigo and Cornelius’s friendship is well documented, so it’s no surprise that Nigo contributed some merch for Cornelius’s album. But this particular tee sold out instantly when it was first released in 1997.

The crazy part? About 10 years ago, I was randomly browsing Nigo’s website when he posted that he had found a box of these rare BAPE tees tucked away in his studio. He listed them for just $21. They were all size small.

As a huge fan, I’m honored to own one.

I’ve got some more rare pieces in the GALLERY, if you’re interested.
