It was at the very end of 2005 when the brand was finally launched as a sister company to A Bathing Ape. A flagship store exists in Japan and Hong Kong, with hand picked retailers from the US, Canada and Europe able to sell items in their stores.

Aside from the clothing line, BBC (billionaire boys club), Pharrell has also created his own skateboard team to gain street credibility. The team is called “Team ice cream”; they have been creating several videos and are currently working with Tony Hawk in hopes of joining the X Games tour.
