A Bathing Ape + LDG Collaboration

BAPE x LDG Limited Collaboration

Two icons. One capsule. One week to make noise that lasted.

A Bathing Ape doesn't do ordinary collabs. Neither does Louis De Guzman. When the two came together for a limited-time capsule spanning apparel, footwear, and accessories, Moving Parts was there to make sure the world heard about it across every channel that matters in streetwear.

The BAPE x LDG collection was built around cultural energy: the kind that doesn't need a big ad budget, just the right audience and the right moment. Our job was to architect the moment, manage the creative, the content, the digital rollout, and the earned media strategy that would put this capsule in front of BAPE's global community and Louis De Guzman's loyal following simultaneously.

The result was a first week that proved the formula worked. The campaign generated over 500,000 combined impressions across owned, earned, and partner channels. Louis De Guzman's Instagram alone drove 277,000 verified views, while editorial coverage landed in Highsnobiety, Sneaker News, Nice Kicks, and The Toy Chronicle. BAPE's global Instagram presence, spanning both US and Japan audiences, amplified the reach far beyond what any single campaign could accomplish alone.

The collection generated $2M in global sales.

Two communities. One drop. No noise wasted.
