As a promotion for his Japanese tour that is about to start, bad boy musician John Mayer has teamed up with well-known Japanese company [NEIGHBORHOOD Technical Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neighborhood-x-chito) to release a collection of [graphic tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-x-babymonster).

John Mayer is known for his “I don’t care” attitude and laid-back style, so it was appropriate that the collection didn’t go beyond casual t-shirts. The collection, which is called ‘John Mayer x NEIGHBORHOOD,’ only features four shirts; two of them are black and two are white. Each tee features minimal graphics and verbiage such as “No One Understands Me” and “BLUES FURY.”

JayMay fans have to act fast if they want to get their hands on the shirts because the company is producing a very limited quantity, which will be available on May 1st. The date also marks Mayer’s first Japanese tour in four years.
