Inside the New BAPE Store at American Dream Mall: A Fusion of Streetwear and Tradition

The Retail Archive had the privilege of capturing the stunning new A Bathing Ape (BAPE) store at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey. As the first location featuring BAPE’s latest base design concept, this retail space is a fusion of modern streetwear culture and traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The store’s interior, developed in collaboration with The Pirie Group, boasts rich wooden elements, intricate detailing, and a harmonious blend of lighting that highlights BAPE’s signature apparel, footwear, and accessories. Our photography showcases the meticulous store layout, from curated product displays to architectural elements that enhance the shopping experience.

Retail brands know that store design is a crucial component of brand storytelling, and BAPE’s latest retail concept is a testament to that philosophy. The space features structured ceiling beams, decorative noren curtains, and a warm, immersive ambiance that enhances the visual merchandising strategy. Each section of the store is carefully curated to highlight BAPE’s bold aesthetic, with sneaker walls, graphic apparel displays, and artful shelving that make a powerful statement. Our expert retail photography ensures that every design detail is documented to reflect the brand’s identity and innovation.
