Streetwear imprint ROKIT worked with Tokyo-based label 24Karats on a limited-edition capsule entitled 'Life Improvement Movement.' The range is comprised of essential streetwear silhouettes and pieces that are adorned in Mizuno branding accents. The main inspiration that lies behind the collection is drawn from "nocturnal underground youth subcultures." This branches out to the cross-cultural influences of the vast street influence of Tokyo and the sports-centric themes that Los Angeles embodies.
The new capsule is comprised of silhouettes including graphic t-shirts, sweatpants, hoodies, jerseys crafted from nylon, a crossbody bag and a hat. The overarching color palette showcases hues of black, white and neon green, accompanied by busy print designs. The entire collection is set to drop on November 3rd online at ROKIT and November 9th online at 24Karats.
