First Look at the BAPE x adidas NMD July 29th, 2016 by John Kim BAPE x adidas NMD is happening for sure, and in more ways than one. Today we get a first look at what to expect when the German sportswear brand and the Japanese streetwear icon officially push their product in the coming weeks; it features two colorways of the adidas NMD R1 with the ubiquitous Bape camouflage print covering the entire uppers of the shoes. Instead of Primeknit or even a basic mesh, the upper seems to be build with a neoprene-like soft upper, with taped three-stripes detailing, white Boost soles, and colored NMD blocks. Check out both colorways here and stay tuned for the official release date; both are confirmed to be $150. Update: The BAPE x adidas NMD releases on Saturday, November 26th, 2016 for $150.

I live in Japan and I don’t know shit about the fashion industry back in my home country Indonesia so I’m gonna do Japan. There are so very many so I’m gonna go with I guess 10 them off the top of my head, combining both top-line high fashion and high-end streetwear labels in no particular order. Oh, and COMME des GARÇONS gets extra pictures cause I mentioned multiple designers. Prepare for a very long answer.Ex-Burton fashion designer Hiroki Nakamura’s take on vintage Americana, denim, moccasins, with a blend of intricate tailoring techniques and modern innovations such as Gore-Tex and Vibram soles to create very high-quality traditional Americana work with the functionality of modern wear. monly referred to as BAPE, the immensely popular streetwear behemoth founded by NIGO is Japan’s most well-known high-end streetwear label and rivaled probably only by Supreme in hype and demand, if the last collaboration with Adidas on the NMD sneakers is anything to go by.
Its name comes from the Japanese saying “A bathing ape in lukewarm water”, referring to an overindulgent person and probably a jab at their own customers who buy their very expensive and very quickly selling out goods. BAPE is notable for their ironically showy camo print, shark hoodies and endless references to the Planet of the Apes series and every time you see a big hip-hop name.The Osaka-based label founded by Hidehiko Yamane is the face of high-quality raw selvedge denim worldwide; its seagull print is an instant seal of quality unless you picked up a fake pair. Its name comes from the Japanese god of money and luck, something that Yamane’s definitely been blessed with as the brand exploded past its original 14-pairs-a-day level of production. While Evisu’s handmade raw jeans are what they’re best known for, the brand has delved into postwar-Japanese-Americana-vintage-meets-modern-streetwear-aesthetics for the rest of its catalogue.A legendary high fashion icon and an inspiration for some of the biggest names worldwide including the late Alexander McQueen, Issey Miyake is known for their warped silhouettes and their technological, mathematical innovations to their textile making.
Whether it’s pleated, baked fabrics that ‘remember’ their pleats, their foldable origami dresses or their signature geometric, foldable handbags, Issey Miyake is a name that has consistently rocked Paris Fashion Week year after year. While the man himself has already retired from the fashion house to pursue research and head the 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT design museum, designers Yoshiyuki Miyamae of the women’s line and Yusuke Takahashi of the men's line have continued the Issey Miyake legacy gracefully with impressive collections utilizing the house’s signature innovations.A collaboration between the enigmatic graphic designer SK8THING and British musician Toby Feltwell, the two ex-Billionaire Boys Club, NEIGHBORHOOD and BAPE contributors are now known for their high streetwear label Cav Empt. The label’s name comes from the Latin phrase ‘caveat emptor’, meaning ‘buyer beware’, probably a warning for the brain damage the label’s eccentric graphic designs might get you. Cav Empt sources their inspiration from strange places like Internet 1.0 iconography, obscure philosophy, 20th century Italian horror films and places a chaotic, questioning, almost paranoid mishmash into high quality street basics such as hoodies, sherpas and bomber jackets.
This one’s a top contender for my personal favourite streetwear brand.The highly sought-after musically-inspired designs of Number (N)ine designer Takahiro Miyashita is back under his new label, normally shortened to The Soloist. His work is known for its heavy inspirations in musical culture and rock, taking cues from New Order, The Beatles, Nirvana, David Bowie, adding unconventional Victorian, Americana, rockabilly decoration and then putting all that into leather jackets, military-inspired designs, knitwear and the like, creating an avant-garde musical tribute like none other. It’s very tempting to place it as vintage Americana similar to Visvim but the kind of ideas that go into it stop me from doing so.One of the major streetwear players beside BAPE and fragment design, founder and head designer Jun Takahashi actually opened up UNDERCOVER alongside NIGO with A Bathing Ape. Since then, the label has consistently been an icon of cool for both high fashion enthusiasts and streetwear nerds alike.
While a large portion of the streetwear industry embraces hip-hop and skate culture as its influences, UNDERCOVER instead turns to punk and rockabilly for its influences not unlike The Soloist. Its slogan is probably the best descriptor for its look: ‘We make noise, not clothes’; the label’s designs frequently take cues from bondage, punk and goth aesthetics to create the quintessential high fashion punk streetwear look.Rather than talk about fragment design itself as a label, this segment is going to be more of an introduction to the godfather and grand daddy of Japanese streetwear and Ura-Harajuku culture, Hiroshi Fujiwara. Among the labels he’s created including Goodenough and Head Porter, fragment design is the project he just happens to be pretty involved in right now. Unlike a lot of the more showy streetwear labels we’ve discussed so far, Fujiwara’s work strongly embraces subtlety and simplicity; his fragment design collaborations with the numerous brands including Stussy, Visvim, Nike, Converse and Disney often involves very subtle touches such as placing the iconic lightning logo somewhere or other simple and elevating touches to establisted products.
His work under Goodenough and Head Porter echo these tasteful, minimalistic sensibilities. It’s hard to pin him to a very specific style or product outside of that, either - he’s worked with so many brands on so many products that there’s definitely something for everyone somewhere in his portfolio.Possibly the biggest high fashion house in Japan and arguably the first Japanese avant-garde label, COMME des GARÇONS commands numerous sub-labels outside of its own mainline headed by a large selection of very notable designers. Its mainline labels Comme des GARÇONS and COMME des GARÇONS Homme Plus (womenswear and menswear respectively) are headed by founder Rei Kawakubo, an eccentric and enigmatic designer who has time and time again shocked the fashion world with anything from her initial ‘ragged chic’ style to her aggressive, bombastic silhouettes to her cutting huge holes in tote bags as her Louis Vuitton collaboration project to her COMME des GARÇONS PARFUM fragrance line designing fragrances that smell like burnt rubber
, CdG and CdGH+ is a place you go to for the total avant-garde. Their other labels are nothing to scoff at either; the coveted CdG Junya Watanabe line headed by the eponymous designer sports interesting takes on patchwork, denim and technology, opting for bold cuts and textile configurations on classic menswear garments. One of his notable recent works is a coat with four sonar panels on its back for you to charge your phone with. Another line, CdG Ganryu headed by Fumito Ganryu is known for his bold colour configurations and textile cuts to create gender-neutral pieces with a playful edge. What you’ll most normally see, though, is the CdG PLAY line, a diffusion label of streetwear basics with its signature heart-with-eyes logo (it’s also the cheapest among all the labels). Either way, CdG is definitely a place for high quality, fashion forward designs no matter which label.Saved the best for last. My personal lord, savior and messiah of fashion, Yohji Yamamoto is a designer whose impeccable high-quality tailoring, sense of fabric movement, flowing silhouettes and obsession for the colour black has carved him into his own timeless, irreplaceable niche in the fashion world.
Yohji Yamamoto is known for clothes that move and billow around the wearer thanks to its tailoring, leading to dramatic layered silhouettes balanced out by muted, dark (most often black) colours creating something that tiptoes between aggression and modesty. His three most notable labels are his mainline brands Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme for men, Yohji Yamamoto Femme for women and his futuristic techwear collaboration with Adidas, Y-3. The former two utilize his rebellious sensibilities on more traditional fashion pieces while the latter fuses his silhouettes with technical fabrics; Y-3 is also a notable player in the sneaker world. Although he has mostly kept to a similar style over his decades in the industry, his work is arguably his and only his; there aren’t many designers who I would say have successfully replicated his rebellious sensibilities. This is the designer I preach about the most and definitely a name the world has always watched for.For more, I used Highsnobiety’s recent guide as a little help for this answer:Japanese Clothing Brands: 26 You Need to Know |
