BAPE 1ST CAMO Shark Full-Zip Hoodie

The One That Started It. Six Ways In.

1ST CAMO is not a sub-line or a seasonal variation. It is the original BAPE camo system — the ABC Camo pattern that the brand built its visual identity on, applied in the full-body-coverage format that made the shark hoodie the most recognisable piece in streetwear. What makes the 1ST CAMO lineup unusual is the colourway range: six options, each running the same ABC Camo pattern in a different chromatic register, each producing a jacket that reads as a distinct object despite sharing the same underlying architecture. The pattern is machine-printed, which gives each colourway exceptional saturation consistency and sharp Ape Head definition across the full surface of the garment.

A detail shared across all six colourways: the hood brim carries a blue woven tape trim — a small, consistent feature that ties the lineup together visually and marks these pieces as 1ST CAMO entries regardless of the colourway chosen. The WGM (World Gone Mad) lettermark appears embroidered on the shark hood crown of select colourways, connecting this piece to the broader BAPE WGM series as a core catalogue entry rather than a limited-edition item.

Six Colourways

• Yellow: bright yellow base, deep forest-black patches, olive mid-tone patches; the most counter-intuitive camo in the lineup — camouflage that makes no attempt to conceal; yellow ribbing; the highest-visibility configuration available
• Red: high-saturation orange-red base, deep wine-red and brick-brown patches; the warmest and most aggressive colourway; red ribbing; the Ape Head registers with particular clarity against the warm base
• Purple: deep purple base, bright pink-purple patches, blue-violet accent patches; three-tone purple register, the most chromatically complex colourway in the set; the pink-purple patches produce a neon-adjacent effect that distinguishes this from the cooler tones in the lineup; purple ribbing
• Blue: deep navy base, cobalt blue patches, near-black shadow patches; three shades of blue producing the most layered tonal range in the set; WGM lettermark embroidered on hood crown; navy ribbing; the most structured and versatile colourway
• Green: mid-green base, deep forest-black patches, blue-grey accent patches; the foundational ABC Camo colourway; the cooler blue-grey accent distinguishes it from a flat olive and adds chromatic depth; green ribbing
• Gray: mid-grey base, deep black patches; City Camo achromatic register; the most wearable and versatile configuration; pairs with the widest range of pieces; grey ribbing
