We all know that Japanese culture has been taking over half of the hip hop fashion scene. The other half of hip hop patrons seem to be striving for the ridiculously high end designer lines. On a trip to the city(San Francisco) I went to the store "Shoe Biz" for the sophisto-fashionable style that they're popular for. I came across the brand "Onitsuka Tiger." This brand was established in 1949 in Japan. The company set out to promote athletic lifestyles to ensure a healthy lifestyle for the youth of Japan. This is similar to the idea of the Japanese clothing line "Bathing Ape" whose target audience is the youth. The term "Bathing Ape" is a figurative term in Japan that refers to adolescents. The style of "Onitsuka Tiger" emphasizes sports, youth empowerment, and appreciation of art. Heres how you stay fly from your feet to the sky...
(Onitsuka Tiger is part of "Asics" apparel)
Any of you San Francisco Bay Area residents should also check out "Shoe Biz" for new styles of footwear from Vans to Uggs. Here's the link to their website if you don't have a chance to go see it for yourself. They recently had a party at an art gallery which says a lot for their appreciation of art and the San Francisco fashionably loud lifestyle... ThatGo.
