Get a Sneak Peek at the BAPE® x SPOTIFY x SYNA by Central Cee Capsule Collection
Earlier this year, we announced the BAPE® x SPOTIFY x SYNA by Central Cee (aka Cench) capsule collection, a collaboration that blends sound, style, and street culture. With the release just around the corner, we’re giving fans a closer look at what’s coming, including a sneak peek at some highlight pieces.
Dropping worldwide November 25, the collection will be available at select BAPE STORE® locations and online via BAPE® and SYNA. Each piece remixes BAPE®’s signature streetwear with Central Cee’s creative direction and weaves inspo from individual songs into the collection’s DNA. Labels and care tags feature a link to an exclusive Spotify playlist curated by Central Cee himself.
“I’m lucky to have creative friends and my manager who all give me input with these things,” said Central Cee. “With their help, I felt confident I could creatively direct this three-way collab between BAPE®, SPOTIFY, and SYNA. I’m looking forward to seeing people out in the world wearing the pieces.”
“We build partnerships that add real value to fans and are authentic to the artist,” said Marc Hazan, Senior Vice President, Partnerships and Marketing, Spotify. “With BAPE® and SYNA, we aligned on a shared vision, creating the platform for Central Cee to lead. The result is a statement capsule collection.”
Taking inspiration from the now-iconic purple BAPE® hoodie that cemented the brand’s place in streetwear culture, the new collection carries that legacy forward with Cench’s unmistakable touch: from a bold purple puffer paying homage to the classic BAPE® colorway, to a “Synning BAPE” graphic tee that reimagines a signature motif through the SYNA lens, to a football jersey that channels his lifelong passion for the game.
BAPE®’s beloved BABY MILO® character also makes a playful appearance across the collection, each design telling its own story—from a London street scene on a bike capturing the rhythm of youth culture, to a fresh reinterpretation of the iconic Shark Hoodie infused with SYNA’s creative vision.
“This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for BAPE® as we deepen our relationship with Spotify through this three-way co-creation with Central Cee,” said BAPE® CEO Mahmoud el Salahy. “Together, we’re blending the worlds of music, fashion, and culture to celebrate fearless expression.”
With music, fashion, and culture intertwined, the BAPE® x Spotify x SYNA by Central Cee collection delivers a one‑of‑a‑kind lineup for fans around the world.
