In the late 1990's Mo'Wax Japan and BAPE teamed with Futura2000 to create several t-shirts. These early BAPE t-shirts feature an Anvil tag, typical of their 1997 releases.[1] Worth noting is that Futura also had his FML label at around the same time which put out very similar designs. Some of these t-shirts were sold shrink-wrapped in to a gun shape.

Names given to designs in this article are assumptions and may not be correct.

There were also some Nigo Sounds t-shirts created by Futura and produced by Bape[2][3]. These are not part of the Ape Vs Mo'Wax collection.
