Japanese clothing label A Bathing Ape (Bape) is collaborating with Nintendo to create a newly decorated white and gold DS Lite portable. Nintendo’s Super Mario and Bape’s Baby Milo fitted in Louis Vuitton pattern will adorn the packaging and the top half of the NIntendo DS Lite.

i was waiting for the right time to get the DS, i think this might be it!
Yea, my friend has talked about it a few days ago. He said he wanted the DS just cause it’s branded by bape,and I thought the DS was going to have some crazy patterns over it like on their hoodie line. But now that i see it, I think I’d love the gold edition! It’s so classy hahahh.

I much prefer the DS Lite designed by streetwear designer Hiroshi Fujiwara and Japanese fashion mag Honeyee:

I like the clean solid colors offered by the DS Lite design as is but the glossy cover is a cesspool of fingerprints, especially for any non-white unit. The matte finish gives a nice functional grip, completely resolves the fingerprint issue, and still maintains the clean, pleasing aesthetic.
The DS has so many versions these days, the black, the white, the red, the Zelda edition, now setting up for these OG designs. As the post above, the matte finish doesn’t really give away finger prints and also those nasty scratches. The gloss however does have a tendency to show scratches when you don’t want it it to, not saying that the matte doesn’t but it looks off if it does. GOOD who also did a collab with the Microsoft Zune, should also do a DS skin, that’d turn out pretty cool, especially with the GOOD logo and the sleek pattern.
[...] and Nintendo Is everyone collaborating or what??? Â I just received word that Bape and Nintendo DS are getting together to design a new (probably limited) Nintendo [...]
Wow, it gets better all the time. Now Super Mario will now get its own t-shirt and the Bape character gets to be on a gaming console. What will they think of next? I think that the merging of the two companies is a good sign of innovation on the part of both the clothing and gaming industries. We might see a lot of this merging in the future.
Say what…NIGO is racking some big collabs in Asia..Bape is really expensive hope this one reach the west so i can get it..
