Bape Nitendo DS Lite

Bape + Nintendo DS

Having to deal with empty stores (in Tokyo at least), I guess Bape has to do what it can to sell some products. Everybody loves the DS, right? Enter the Bape-branded Nintendo DS Lite. Via Kotaku.

Update
If the Bape-branded Nintendo DS Lite doesn’t interest you, then how about a DS co-branded with the Honeyee magazine and website and Hiroshi Fujiwara.

Responses:

Sorry to pinpoint, I don’t think Honeyee is “Hiroshi Fujiwara’s”, even though he probably an important place there. The DS seems to be a Honeyee + HF collaboration.

It’s my understanding that Honeyee was started by Hiroshi Fujiwara. No?

Maybe Marxy can help clear things up.

My understanding was that it’s a collaboration between Fujiwara and the Editor-in-Chief Suzuki Tetsuya.

Jean Snow lives and breathes design and pop culture in Tokyo -- sustained by an unhealthy addiction to magazines and frequent visits to his favorites cafes. He has reported on these obsessions for the following online/offline publications: Time, Inside (Australian Design Review), Gizmodo, Gridskipper, Kotaku, Tokyo Q, Superfuture, OK Fred, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel, I.D. (International Design), Metropolis, Azure, MoCo Loco, Kateigaho International Edition, Game|Life, and The Japan Times. He also manages the gallery space at Cafe Pause.

Jean Snow is a daily contributor to Wired magazine's game blog, Game|Life, covering game news from Japan and beyond.

Tokyolife: Art and Design covers Tokyo's cultural output of the past few years, covering the works of over 80 influential creatives. Jean Snow provided coordination assistance.

The Superfuture Superguides are a series of PDF travel guides to some of your favorites cities, updated monthly, and obsessively compiling the best places to shop, eat, and drink. The Tokyo guide is edited by Jean Snow.

PauseTalk is a regular series of events that take place at Cafe Pause on the first Monday of every month, with a start time of 20:00.
