In the beginning there was Urahara, and it pioneered a movement in Japanese street style and culture. Now there’s a newer cult wave, Neo-Tokyo, led by futuristic graphics, premium fabrics and colourful pattern clash, taking cues from Japan’s capital. Brought to you by the likes of NOMA t.d., WTAPS, Cav Empt, and Neighborhood. Check it out below.
The first pair of track pants were produced in France in 1920. Grey, jersey trousers that were designed to enhance movement and comfort during exercise, the aim here was functionality, not design. Needles' track pants ride that line between both. Flexible and breathable materials mixed with bold print, new seasonal colours and a choice of fabrics. The pant being somewhere between made for function and made to look good allows for both formal and informal dressing, and we're opting for formal. The special fabrics, embroidery and boxy cuts of a NOMA t.d. shirt. A relaxed yet refined look.

Japanese Accessories
Popular in many cultures, subcultures, and regions of dressing, but no one does accessorising quite like the Japanese. Jewellery, caps and sunglasses are key forms of expression and are the cherry on top of your fit. Even something as simple as a crisp white sock contrasting your sneaker but matching your long sleeved under layer t-shirt can transform your look.
