care to explain why you like Bape so much though?

It was innovative about 20 years ago, around 1995 when it was first introduced in Japan. They've done literally nothing new in those 20 years, and as far as I know, it's losing mainstream relevance?

Yeah, I get that. It's easy when you're getting started with fashion to become attached to brands you've heard of or seen before, because it's easier than having to decide if individual pieces look good or not.

However I highly encourage you look up inspiration online (following social media accounts, blogs, sites etc. with styles you like) and make purchases slowly until you can build up your own personal style and actually decide what looks good and what doesn't.

Maybe "poorly-designed" was the wrong word. It's designed with little consideration. Someone put the most unremarkable camo pattern they could on the most unremarkable windbreaker they could, so tens of thousands of normal, unremarkable people would buy it.

poorly designed is subjective
they are not mass produced at all though
you fucking idiot
they have a huge control on their production numbers and they refuse to be in the market so readily
the reason why you could potentially see bape everywhere is because it's second hand, or a china fake
they're fucking stupid and moved into HK and instantly began being counterfeited

people say supreme is bad and then go on to say that bape is good?

bape relies too much on high prices and branding, most pieces have bape camo, shark head, bape head or baby milo and these are all shit.

Some of bape is alright. I own a pair of bapestas, but I got them for a wicked deal (only $30). Their shit is medium-low quality, expensive, and easy to fake which makes buying resale super annoying. Honestly most of supreme is better quality, looks better and easier to pull off. If you are trying to go for streetware and have a huge wallet go for cav empt, gosha, some Rick Owens shit, maybe cdg play if you like branding a lot. I'd stay away from bape unless it's an insane deal.

I have a bape gortex snowboarding jacket I've been wearing for a couple of years, It was overpriced but I thought it looked cool. You're paying for a design, my jacket has okay quality, but I could of bought a more functional jacket for outdoors from mission workshop or arceteryx. Don't buy the shark hoodies, they look pretty childish and are only "cool" because of they hype behind the brand, not to mention the quality is awful. BAPE isn't fashionable, and your money could go a lot further elsewhere
