This dog print t-shirt will add a playful touch to your closet. The cute tee features a sandy-furred pup riding a skateboard with a French saying reading "à coeur vaillant rien d’impossible." For those who don’t speak the language, this translates "to a valiant heart nothing is impossible.’

The Tokyo tee was designed by [Genevieve Gauckler for Kitsuné](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-and-kenshi-yonezu). This dog print t-shirt is just one piece in their collaboration. The tee is inspired by one of Genevieve’s favorite cities, Tokyo, Japan. The top is made from 100% cotton. It is suggested one purchase one size larger than usual as it is likely to shrink. The shirt is only available for men and comes in sizes ranging from small to large.
