Original Marines launches S/S 2024 Army of Apes capsule collection

Maurizio Distefano Licensing, which manages licensing in Italy for the globally famous NFT brand Army of Apes, is very pleased to announce that, ready for the spring/summer 2024 season, Original Marines, a leader in kids’ apparel, has launched a new Army of Apes capsule collection.

This is not just any capsule collection. In fact, the stars of the t-shirts, sets, tank tops, and cotton shorts are the faces of the most famous monkeys on the web, characterized by the quirky and captivating expressions that make this collection unique.

The designs have been created to provide comfort and simplicity, combining shades of black and grey with brighter colours such as orange and electric blue. Combining these colours and shades with the quirky monkey prints, the whole capsule collection projects an original and radiant feel, ideal for those carefree and joyful moments that the warmer weather provides. The market for these outfits, with their urban and contemporary character, is children aged between three and 14.

Maurizio Distefano, President of the agency, says, "Army of Apes is among the best-known NFT collections in the world, and Original Marines is a leader in the kidswear market. This is a capsule collection that brilliantly reflects the spirit and artistry of both brands.” He adds: “The union of two such strong brands in the market is certain to be a big success."

The Army of Apes brand consists of a selection of the most significant and famous monkey illustrations from the Bored Ape Yacht Club, a collection of over 10,000 NFTs. The illustrations feature anthropomorphic monkeys, each distinguished by a series of unique traits, making every illustration one of a kind. Each Bored Ape is generated by a program that mixes 170 different possible distinctive traits, including facial expressions, clothing, headwear, and other accessories. Army of Apes offers a curated selection to give licensees the opportunity to collaborate with the world of NFTs and reach the fans of the most famous monkeys on the web.
