Eight members, eight SKZOO characters and one very recognizable Japanese streetwear mascot. Stray Kids and BAPE are officially back together, and this time, their collaboration is getting a little more adorable, while keeping their unmistakable cool at the forefront.

Following their 2025 partnership, the K-pop powerhouse and Japanese streetwear giant are expanding their obsession with BAPE’s more-is-more mentality across a new range of collectibles, character accessories and an immersive takeover of BAPE's Dosan flagship store in Seoul. The reunion results in an unlikely friendship between SKZOO and BABY MILO becoming a full-blown family affair.

Last year's collaboration introduced Stray Kids to some of BAPE's most recognizable designs, including its iconic Shark Hoodie, BAPE STA sneakers and signature COLOR CAMO patterns. Each member selected a camouflage color, while their animated SKZOO counterparts received a BABY MILO-inspired makeover.

For 2026, the release revolves around a limited-edition gift-with-purchase collection featuring luggage tags, key-cap keychains, tote bags, BABY MILO plush keychains and larger plush toys. The designs continue the crossover between BAPE's youthful monkey mascot and Stray Kids' eight animal alter egos, transforming the partnership into something fans can carry, collect or display.

BAPE's Dosan flagship became the center of the collaboration, hosting a special activation that brought the two character universes together under one roof. Stray Kids themselves made a private visit to the store, appearing in pieces from BAPE's Fall/Winter 2026 collection and celebrating the 25th anniversary of BAPE STA sneakers.

BAPE helped define the relationship between Japanese streetwear and music long before K-pop became a fixture of international fashion. Its graphic-heavy designs, camouflage patterns and unmistakable logos have spent decades moving between hip-hop, celebrity wardrobes and youth culture. Stray Kids isn’t reimagining BAPE’s history, they’re contributing with a dash of K-pop flair. Through SKZOO, the group has transformed each member into a recognizable character that you can take with you away from the stage.

Stray Kids already conquered BAPE's Shark Hoodie. Now, they're taking over its toy collection, and BABY MILO might have just found eight new best friends.

The new collectibles arrive in two stages: luggage tags, keychains and totes launched October 17, while plush keychains and larger BABY MILO plush toys follow on October 30. Items are offered as limited gifts with qualifying purchases at participating BAPE stores, with conditions varying by location.
