Photo Tee size Large fits Large/XL. Arguably the most rare/sought after Bape piece of all time. A little history: Biggie showed up for a photo shoot in 1996 with Shawn Mortensen and immediately took an interest in Shawn's Bape jacket. He liked the jacket so much he asked if he could wear it for the shoot and where he could buy one, Shawn told him it was his friend Nigo’s brand out of Japan. At that time Nigo didn’t make any Bape in Biggie's size so upon hearing he took interest in the brand, and Nigo being the Hip-Hop head that he is, was beyond excited and immediately had some 1/1 pieces made for Big in 4XL. Unfortunately Big passed before those pieces ever made it to him. Fast forward to December 8th-29th 2002, Nigo and Shawn held a photo exhibition at Bape Gallery London titled “It’s My Life... Or It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time”. Some of Shawns favorite photos, including the one of Big in Shawns Bape jacket, were printed on tees and sold at the event in extremely limited quantities. 50 tees per design, 10 in each size XS-XL. In other words this tee was limited to 50 pieces and was only sold in December 2002 at Bape Gallery London. The words rare and grail don’t even do this piece justice. A true & priceless piece of streetwear history.
