Harajuku-Honoring Sneaker Packs

The 'Happy Chaos' Collection Celebrates Japanese Fashion Culture

— December 4, 2018 — Fashion
Footwear label ASICSTIGER introduces the new 'Happy Chaos' collection designed with a Japanese influence -- the capsule celebrates Tokyo's Harajuku district with vibrant colors and bold patterning. ASICS embodies a culture that actively applies Japanese fashion to sportswear, and this latest pack follows suit. Harajuku is recognized for their eclectic DIY spirit and expressive designs.

This energetic concept was well thought-out when creating the men's and women's sneakers -- the collection features styles such as the 'GEL-DIABLO,' the 'GEL-SAGA,' 'GEL-MAI,' and the 'GEL-KAYANO.' To accompany the footwear are some apparel options, featuring tracksuits, tees, long sleeve shirts, hoodies, and a waist bag. Notably, the pieces in the Happy Chaos collection are designed to have matching pieces, but consumers are encouraged to embrace the creative culture of Harajuku and create contrasting looks by mixing them up.
Trend Themes
1. Japanese Fashion Influence - Opportunity for brands to incorporate Japanese fashion elements into their designs and cater to a global audience seeking unique and expressive styles.
2. Eclectic DIY Spirit - Potential for businesses to tap into the growing demand for customization and self-expression by offering DIY fashion products and services.
3. Mix-and-match Culture - Disruptive innovation opportunity for brands to create modular fashion collections that encourage consumers to mix and match different pieces for personalized and versatile looks.
Industry Implications
1. Footwear - Innovative footwear brands can explore collaborations and collections that celebrate cultural influences, like the Harajuku-inspired sneakers, to cater to fashion-forward consumers.
2. Apparel - Apparel companies can leverage the popularity of Harajuku fashion culture to introduce vibrant and expressive clothing lines that resonate with consumers seeking unique and bold styles.
3. Fashion Retail - Opportunity for fashion retailers to create immersive in-store experiences that reflect the eclectic and creative atmosphere of Harajuku, attracting customers looking for a unique shopping experience.
