A camo-print cotton short with a drawstring waist, straight leg, and a wrinkle-resistant finish, offered in 28 colorways across M–3XL.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Buyer reports conflict: one says Bape shorts run small and buyers size up; another says some Bape shorts models run large. This listing runs M–3XL in a loose straight cut with a stated 1–3 cm tolerance, so the specific size chart is the deciding reference.
Buy if
You want a light summer camo short in cotton, with a drawstring waist and no belt, and you are willing to check the size chart for this specific listing — buyer reports say Bape shorts sizing varies by model.
Skip if
You need one consistent Bape size across models, or you want independently verified cotton, tag, and print quality — buyer reports on budget Bape pieces describe exactly those as inconsistent.

Buying FAQ

No. The catalog lists no fleece lining, and the shorts are listed for summer wear.
28 colorways across camo and colorblock styles, in sizes M, L, XL, 2XL, and 3XL.
Evidence
Budget/replica Bape pieces bought from Chinese marketplaces are reported to have subpar cotton material, poorly made tags that fall apart, and weak patch/print quality.
SourceBuyers looking for Bape shorts specifically struggle to find high-quality versions, suggesting quality is inconsistent across Bape shorts listings.
SourceBAPE shorts tend to run smaller than most other brands, so buyers often need to size up compared with their usual size.
SourceSome Bape shark/camo shorts (e.g. an Adidas x Bape collab pair offered in XS–XL) are described as running large (版型偏大), so sizing can vary between Bape shorts models.
SourceAt least one Bape buyer complained that a newly purchased garment gave off a noticeable smell out of the bag.
