I’m traveling to Japan either later this year or early next year, and I’m saving up to do some shopping however I’m a really tall guy 194cm and a bit of width, any tips on some dope stores I should check out? Shoes or clothes
Another reason why people are hating on hypebeasts. Hypebeasts just spend money without understanding the brand and appreciating the designer’s ethos. They’re driving up prices on the resale market as well. For those of us collectors who aren’t in Japan, it’s super tough nowadays to get older pieces. We’ve spent years following and knowing and loving the brand, but unfortunately more and more people are slowly dropping out of the game cos of hypebeasts.
n not you but you’re prolly a hypebeast lol. At least you’re here to educate yourself with Reggie. Whereas other hypebeasts don’t care they just buy whatever hypebeast and highsnobiety or whatever your latest hype fashion blog features
Dan Ariola Inside it's basically a Chuck 70, same level comfort and same sizing. The zipper is a nice functional and aesthetic addition. The distressing stand out more on the on the lighter version. I'm not generally a fan of artificially distressed shoes, but I think they didn't overdo it here.
I've always been a fan of UNDERCOVER, but I never knew this much about the brand and how incredibly important it is. Thanks for making this well spoken video.
I’ve never heard of it. But every time I see it’s apparel I regret for not being rich. I think, that’s the clothes I would buy, if money wasn’t a problem
Undercover’s leather-sleeved/polyester down vest jacket is a must for anyone wanting to get into the brand. It’s a practical, yet stylish piece of outerwear. It’s not cheap (around ¥85000 when I bought an all black jacket), but it’s distinctively Undercover while retaining a timeless design, IMO. They release the jacket every other year in different color schemes and if you have the opportunity to try one on, go for it.
Thank You! This vid was super dope I've been following Jun's work for a while and at one point 10 years ago almost went to language school in preparation for study at Mode Gakuen or Bunka. He and Rei are definitely up there for me probably top 5... but I think I like Chitose more than both of them she's got there skill but the energy of her work/designs reminds me of the Chesire cat.
I feel like Reggie makes some of the dopest videos on fashion, but hasnt gotten enough attention. Maybe Jumpcut could help him like they did Jimmy Zhang and Frugal Aesthetics?
It went under the radar, but man it's fire. I got the shirt with the rose and the tux and the Ufo bracelet. Wish I could cop a couple others but I'm satisfied owning what I got
Pure dope thanks man for this explainings , I love what Jun does and every time you watch his creations he's really sending a message. I love bit, because is quality and a message, is not just luxury and a name...
I find it kinda ironic when designers channel subcultures into their pieces, but simultaneously alienate that exact audience who gave them their inspiration. Usually people in those subcultures resent the designers paying homage, and some even say they're stealing it for profit, not knowing said designer is a alumnus.
and yet there's still some people getting finessed because they don't know the misspelling of Jun Takahashi on fake pairs because they don't know what Undercover is, just know it's kinda hyped 😂
