For five days only, from Thursday Sept. 2 until Monday Sept. 6 (LABOR DAY) clothing and sneaker brand A Bathing Ape (known as Bapes) has opened a "pirate" store on Lafayette St. where all merchandise is 50 to 70 percent off.
I was walking in SoHo yesterday and discovered a line around the corner at the makeshift store. The company, that's famous amoung hip hop artists like Kanye West, has limited edition shops in Tokyo (3) and New York. I discovered a pair of yellow and red polka dot sneakers I bought in 2007 for $200 were $50. People hoarded shoes, t-shirts, fitted caps, winter vests - anything they could at the pirate shop.
Exceptions: You have to pay cash.
