BAPE Resale Value Guides

19 guides to what used BAPE is worth — the price at each condition grade, which lines hold their value, and how to date or identify what you have. BAPE is among the most counterfeited labels in clothing, so the resale conversation starts with construction details rather than condition. The shark hoodie in particular is copied more often than it is made.

Which BAPE pieces hold their value

Shark hoodies in the original camo colourways, which are the single most recognised thing the label produces
Pieces from the NIGO era before 2011, which are treated as archive and priced separately from current production
Bapesta trainers in their original colourways, which are collected in the same way the sneakers they reference are
ABC camo in the less common colours, which were produced in smaller runs and are searched for specifically

And what pulls the price down

Cracked and flaking prints, which is what ends most printed streetwear and cannot be restored
Faded camo, where repeated hot washing has taken the contrast out of the pattern that the whole garment exists for
Yellowed Bapesta midsoles, which is the same polyurethane degradation that affects every trainer of that construction
Missing interior tags, which on a heavily copied label is what buyers use to satisfy themselves and is a large deduction when absent

Identifying and dating yours

These are the checks that decide which end of the range a piece sits in, and they are the facts a serious buyer will ask for:

Photograph the interior neck and wash tags flat — on this label they are the first thing a buyer asks to see
On a shark hoodie, photograph the teeth stitching and the full-zip hood, since the quality of that embroidery is where copies fail
Say whether the piece is from the NIGO era or current production, because the two sell at quite different prices

WishThrift does not authenticate or inspect anything. Condition and origin are described by the seller against five grades — what each one means — so photograph the markings above rather than asserting them.

Frequently asked questions

Is used BAPE worth buying?

It depends far more on the line than the label. BAPE is among the most counterfeited labels in clothing, so the resale conversation starts with construction details rather than condition. The shark hoodie in particular is copied more often than it is made. Each guide below says which BAPE lines hold their value for that item and which have almost none, so you are comparing like for like rather than paying for the name alone.

How do I check a piece is genuine BAPE?

Photograph the interior neck and wash tags flat — on this label they are the first thing a buyer asks to see. WishThrift does not authenticate, inspect or grade anything — condition and origin are described by the seller, so ask directly and expect an answer. A seller who has the item will send a photograph of the marking in minutes.
