Previously connected, CR7 LIFE returns to BAPE’s galaxy with capsule taking inspiration from the brand’s mischievous streetwear vibe. The BAPE x CR7 LIFE T- Shirts will drop June 13, 2026 at 11AM ET at select BAPE stores.
Design-wise, the capsule centers around one focal image: Ronaldo redrawn as Baby Milo donning the colors of Portugal next to BAPE’s iconic ape head. The graphic is simple but speaks volumes, connecting Ronaldo’s football brand with one of Japan’s most famous streetwear icons.
Offering up a black and white T-shirt for the art allows for two versatile canvases that don’t alter the main graphic. BAPE has always put a large emphasis on characters for its apparel, and this collaboration allows them to stay true to that while offering CR7 LIFE more streetwear credibility.
June releases also work nicely with the international football calendar, as many European countries kick off their football season during the summer. Nike benefits from this with Ronaldo’s signature jersey, which usually launches in June. This gives Ronaldo’s capsule just a little more relevancy when it drops without having to build an entire collection around mens football jerseys.
Pick up the BAPE x CR7 LIFE T-shirts online June 13, 2026 at 11 AM ET at BAPE retailers, along with other styles of tees this summer.
