Japanese imprint label SUB-AGE follows its Spring/Summer 2018 collection with a range of new and limited apparel and footwear. The newest capsule is comprised of pieces that take on the motif of horrorcore visuals. The apparel offerings include long sleeve shirts, t-shirts, wide collared camp shirts, a shoulder bag, and sneakers.

Most of the new SUB-AGE pieces boast [horror motif imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlo-and-junji-ito) and texts including t-shirts that have 'CRACK HEAD' and 'DEVILOCK' branding details on the chest and sleeves. Every garment boasts a different, yet violent visual print as a nod to the theme. The [skate sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-otw-x-undercover) are packed inside a box that bears a black coffin graphic detail as an additional nod to the overall horror motif. The items will be available for purchase online at SUB-AGE's ZOZOTOWN website.
