When streetwear legends meet motorsport royalty, sparks are bound to fly. This November, Japanese fashion powerhouse BAPE® teams up with the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix to drop a limited-edition capsule that brings the world of racing and street style together under the neon lights of the Strip.
Racing Lights and Neon Nights: Inside the BAPE x Formula 1 Collaboration
Under the dazzling energy of Las Vegas, this collaboration captures the adrenaline of F1 racing and the fearless creativity of Harajuku fashion. BAPE® x F1 is all about speed, attitude, and expression—bridging cultures and pushing boundaries between the pit lane and the pavement.
The capsule is designed for those who live fast and stand out. Think bomber jackets, half-zip tops, graphic tees, and collectible BE@RBRICK figures, all wrapped in the signature LAS VEGAS CAMO—a wild fusion of fuchsia, neon green, and electric blue against deep black, echoing the night race aesthetic.
What’s Inside the BAPE x Formula 1 Las Vegas Collection
Each piece is a nod to both performance and prestige. The APE HEAD tee integrates real Las Vegas street visuals inside the brand’s iconic silhouette, while the half-zip jacket rocks the official Grand Prix logo down its sleeves. A 6-panel cap pays homage to the podium tradition, designed after the caps awarded to race winners.
For collectors, the BE@RBRICK steals the show, available in 100% and 400% sizes, fully cloaked in that bright Las Vegas Camo. The energy, color, and exclusivity channel the essence of F1’s newest and flashiest stop.
Where to Buy the BAPE x Formula 1 Las Vegas Capsule
The collection lands November 8 at the F1 Las Vegas Hub Presented by American Express inside The Venetian Resort, with additional pieces dropping at BAPE STORE® Las Vegas on November 22. Expect limited quantities and massive demand—the drop perfectly coincides with race week (November 20–22, 2025) when the world’s fastest drivers take over the Strip.
The Message Behind the BAPE x Formula 1 Collaboration
BAPE® CEO Mahmoud el Salahy described the collaboration as one that “defies traditional boundaries by creating space at the intersection of fashion, culture, and sport.” That vision is felt across every design, merging the pulse of Formula 1 with BAPE’s decades-long heritage of bold individuality.
More than apparel, the collab is a celebration of what happens when speed meets style—and when creative worlds collide without limits.
