This might just be the thousandth time I've read "Linkin Park have teamed with..." Boy do they keep busy Now team up with Marvel or the LEGO company in whatever way possible!
That's pretty much BAPE's design in a nutshell lol. People either hate it or love it. It's definitely more for the Neptunes/Clipse/Kanye West crowd. Prices are pretty redic. As far as knowing what BAPE does I think these are pretty nice designs.
