A Tribute to Cinematic Legend Akira Kurosawa

Scheduled to drop on the 17th January 2026(JP), this capsule collection draws inspiration from a utilitarian concept: the “Staff Uniform.” The design philosophy centers on the actual gear worn by film crews on set, resulting in pieces that prioritize functionality while maintaining a sharp, directional aesthetic.

The lineup features two distinct silhouettes that channel a raw, behind-the-scenes vibe.

First is an MA-1 bomber jacket, constructed using a body from Alpha Industries—the heritage American military supplier known for its authentic flight jackets. This ensures the piece has the genuine weight and durability of military-spec gear.

The second item is a specially designed sweatshirt. True to the “uniform” concept, it features practical details tailored for a working film set, including gussets to prevent sweat buildup and side pockets for utility.

Both pieces are embroidered with a custom logo designed specifically for this collaboration. The execution is minimal yet commanding, offering a quiet intensity that aligns with the Kurosawa aesthetic.

Releases from the Kurosawa Film Studio—whether original items or collaborations—are exceptionally rare, having occurred only a few times in the past. Consequently, this drop is expected to be a highly coveted collector’s moment for both cinephiles and streetwear enthusiasts.
