The two brands are no strangers to one another, having worked together before and the latest is a range of limited-edition looks. It features apparel, footwear, and BE@RBRICKS. All of these are reimagined, taking classic streetwear and militaristic apparel and seeing it from a lens that stems from traditional Japanese craftsmanship. It kicks off with the [Reversible](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reversible-cooling-comforter) Kimono [Jacket](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awake-ny-and-levis) and the classic MA-1 bomber jacket. Both of these are constructed to celebrate Sashiko stitching, which is traditional to the culture and also presents decorative and functional reinforcements for a practical result.
