Streetwear imprint NEIGHBORHOOD introduces a new collaborative collection done alongside artist Jun Inagawa. The duo work together to create a slew of streetwear goods that are detailed in artwork by Inagawa. He is recognized as what he describes as 'anti-otaku.'
The overall inspiration behind the visuals is drawn from the art of manga and the streetwear silhouettes are adorned in the images. The characters are inspired by magical girls and a variety of different youth centric cultures. This spans out from hip hop culture, streetwear culture, skate culture, and many more subareas. The collection features six pieces and boasts an aesthetic that has a hand-drawn rebelliousness to it including sketches and the artist's signature.
