Classy Puma BAPE FC Kits Revealed
Jan 1, 2016, by Chris
What if BAPE would establish a football club? While the Japanese clothing brand is far away from founding an official club, Puma has nevertheless created a complete soccer collection boasting the trademark design of A Bathing Ape. For the first time, we decided to pick the most interesting and important piece of the collection, the official FC BAPE Kit (if you are interested to see the complete collection, let us know in the comments under the article).
Puma FC BAPE Replica Shirt
This is the ABC Camo version of Puma's Kit for BAPE.
Boasting the trademark design of the Japanese fashion brand, the Puma FC BAPE Jersey comes with an one-of-a-kind look that stands in contrast to the kits of traditional football clubs, whose shirts rather feature classic designs.
On the front of the new Puma FC BAPE Shirt is not only the famous Puma branding and the classy black, white and golden logo Puma created for BAPE.FC, but also the names of the official websites of both brands. On the back under the modern Puma FC BAPE Replica Jersey is again the BAPE.FC logo.
Puma released two version of the first-ever BAPE Kit. The first shirt boasts a military green camo look, while the second jersey comes with a more understated grey and olive green color scheme.
However, while Puma's FC BAPE kit is not only more extraordinary than usual football kits, it also comes with a much higher price tag (100 GBP, 120 USD, 120 Euro) than the shirts of renowned international clubs such as FC Barcelona, Manchester United and Real Madrid (~ 85 Euro).

Puma Ultraweave Kits Continue to Tear at 2026 World Cup
During the 2026 World Cup, Puma kits have become a major talking point due to a series of high-profile tearing incidents. Across the first four rounds of the tournament, six different shirts have ripped during matches. Players from the Czech Republic, Paraguay, Egypt, and Morocco have all experienced torn jerseys following physical challenges and shirt-pulling on the pitch. Notably, kits from other manufacturers have not suffered from similar durability issues during the competition. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn.
The root of the problem lies in the construction of the Puma Ultraweave fabric. Designed to be incredibly lightweight at just 72 grams, the material features a four-way stretch recycled polyester blend. While the brand states this ultra-light design was driven by player feedback to reduce weight and drag, the extremely thin fabric has proven highly vulnerable to tearing under the stress of grabbing and pulling in a high-contact sport.
With the knockout stages underway, the durability of the Puma kits remains a concern. Several Puma-sponsored nations are still competing in the tournament, including Austria, Ivory Coast, the Netherlands, Portugal, Senegal, and Switzerland. As the stakes get higher and matches become more physical, fans and kit enthusiasts will be watching to see if the Ultraweave fabric can hold up to the pressure of international football.
