About Us

About us:

I began collecting sneakers and clothing in 2006 as a teenager living in Washington DC. I remember someone walked into one of my classes as a high school freshman with a pair of Marvel Thor Bapestas and absolutely broke my neck, from that moment on I knew I needed to become a Bape head and start collecting the brand. Many years later and now based in New York City I decided I would start posting some of my collection online and in 2019 Apparition was born.

I strive to find the dopest, rarest and most hard to find pieces. All of my items are 100% authentic and sourced directly from Japan.
