In 1988, Takahashi graduated from Bunka Fashion College in Tokyo, and just two years later, he founded UNDERCOVER. Interestingly enough, Takahashi only started to pay attention to Kawakubo after being dragged by a friend to a Comme des Garçons show. To be specific, he did this by joining punk rock tribute band the Tokyo Sex Pistols as lead vocalist adopting the nickname ‘Jonio’ to pay respects to one of his heroes, Johnny Rotten tattooing his arms up (which, FYI is an act that’s frowned upon in Japan) and, showing dedicated admiration for the work of punk designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Rei Kawakubo. Born in the historic Japanese city of Kiryū in 1969, the streetwear designer deviated from the traditions of his culture by immersing himself in the global punk movement.

In addition to the apparel, the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 Trail silhouette will also be included in both a red or yellow colorway. Each piece’s DNA is encrypted with functionality, allowing the runner to endure steamy temperatures to rainy weather, and whatever urban and trail running has to throw at them. The six-piece range will include a rain top with zip-off hood, long-sleeve top, two short-sleeve tops, shorts and a multi-functional pant. During this time, running as a sport emerged as a pursuit disconnected from competition, which lead to both urban and trail runners.

Once again the forthcoming collection from GYAKUSOU offers up a range of essential running wear, crafted from game-changing fabrics and inspired by the bold rebel spirit of the 1970’s running revolution.
