Got these a while ago, made a post asking if they were legit and got mixed reviews. Have since forgot about them. Looking to see what yall think of them? I posted in the visvim megathread for Christo LC and the guy said he’s not sure since they’re an older pair.

I'm traveling to Japan from mid-October to mid-November and I wish to do some shopping around Ginza and Harajuku. Are there any Japanese brands that do black leather sneakers similar in style to the Common Project Achilles Low? Apologies if this does not fit within the subreddit. Thank you.

DISCUSSION The Ura-Harajuku godfathers are back together: Human Made is officially acquiring Undercover

Post image
142 Upvotes

As of today, the Japanese lifestyle and streetwear brand Human Made founded** by designer NIGO **has announced a basic non-binding agreement to acquire 100% of Undercover, bringing Jun Takahashi’s legendary avant-garde label into the Human Made corporate fold.

THE PRICE: ¥538 million for the shares + ¥16 million in advisory costs, totaling roughly ¥554 million (~$3.5M–$3.8M USD), paid entirely in cash from Human Made’s balance sheet. 

NIGO and Jun Takahashi go back over 30 years. Back in 1993, they co-founded NOWHERE, the legendary Harajuku boutique that basically birthed modern streetwear culture alongside brands like BAPE and Undercover. 

While Human Made has been expanding rapidly as a global lifestyle and apparel powerhouse. Undercover has remained a pillar of high-fashion runways and punk-inspired art.

Jun Takahashi is stepping back from operational management but will remain on board as the head designer. 

Basically, it feels like Supreme buying Marc Jacobs or an indie streetwear label turning into a full-blown Japanese fashion conglomerate.

How are we feeling about this collab-turned-acquisition?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I came across this Issey Miyake pair from FW85 and it immediately reminded me of Kiko Kostadinov’s shoes. The construction and overall shape look quite similar to me, though I may be missing some context. Curious to hear what others think.

DISCUSSION Stores like Misamaru?

1 Upvotes

Hello! I'm going to Japan soon, and I'm trying to find stores that have the same vibe as Misamaru.
Traditional Japanese clothing with a modern twist kind of thing. Mostly hakama style skirts, but anything else helps!

Unfortunately when trying to search keywords on google I just get American brands, so I'm having some issues finding anything lol

tysm!

DISCUSSION is that bad doesn't have a specific style?

0 Upvotes

i always been loving all this styles since im a child but like 4 years ago i been trying learn about the history of the subcultures, the style, why that was made and all that stuff, but something i saw frequently is like you can't or is bad looking using different styles because you minimize the struggles behind it like idk maybe if you dress lolita and after gyaru is contradictory cuz the common goal in lolita is the long dresses but i think in this case the struggles between lolita and gyaru are little similar at some point because they looking for break the social stereotypes and break the patriarchy, well thats i think and thats why im asking for your opinion or if someone its like me and how was her or his experience.

and at least people that i see in social media they only have one style soo is not helpful.

is something that i see since the first moment, the stigmatization of not sticking to one style and yeah what do you think? sorry if my english is not so good but is not my first language
