We recently teamed up with adidas and we-are-awesome.com to throw a party. It was great! We also produced a 'behind the scenes' video of a photo shoot which we presented on the night. The models are sporting the latest collection from the adidas FW09 ObyO range with designs from the likes of Jeremy Scott and Kazuki and none other than David Beckham. Look out for a guest appearance by Gazelle!

 

This is the first part of the video, we will be releasing the following two parts over the next few days.

The Kazuki Vulcanized Boot has finally arrived at a store.It comes with an all-over leopard pattern on pony hair. The sole comes in black/white and the sneaker also features a short toecap. Kazuki is definately a favourite of the a-team. His designs are ambitious but always in line with classic Japanese tailoring and an exceptional attention to detail. Limited and extremely rare; like its big 5 namesake.

The second season of Adidas ObyO has started arriving at a store. Kazuki's collection still retains the ideals of the first, as well as those of the many projects produced under the Fragment Design banner. One of the key influences on the collection is the Neighborhood brand - which Kazuki has regularly designed for.

Here’s a crash course on Neighborhood. Shinsuke Takizawa first launched his brand in Harajuku, Tokyo in 1994.

His passion of motorcycles and its culture inspired him to design a simple yet traditional clothing line with military and outdoors wear and collegiate influences.

Neighborhood often collaborates with their friendship partners such as "Stussy", "A Bathing Ape", "Adidas", "Fragment", and "Visvim" just to name a few.

Now the brand has 5 concept stores "Hoods" in Japan, and international fans can also purchase at select fashion stores worldwide. Here are a few pics so you can see what were talking about.

The success of the Originals by Originals Kazuki x Adidas project has transcended the realms of streetwear and gained huge popularity in fashion circles worldwide. By mixing simple design and classic Adidas silhouettes with cutting edge textiles and techniques the range echoed many of the designs and practices Kazuki Kuraishi employs in his work with Fragment, Visvim and Neighborhood.

The collection is a step on from the last release, reinforcing the Kazuki x Adidas range as one of the leading lights in streetwear. ‘a store’ will be stocking a selection of the new range, here’s a look at what to expect. We’ll keep you posted as the product arrives.
