Recognize manufacturing born from the culture of DIG.

MURO, Japan's world-renowned King Of Diggin', has been mentioned on various occasions for his accomplishments as a DJ and artist, but we must not forget his achievements in bringing American culture to Japan from a different angle than the American casual and Urahara culture, with his aesthetic of breaking down Hip Hop values. However, we must not forget the achievements of Mr. MURO, who has introduced American culture to Japan from a different angle than American casual and backwoods culture. Mr. MURO will start a new brand "RECOGNIZE" from this spring/summer. In this issue, we will have a round-table discussion with Mr. Gonmori, director of "Bow Wow" and partner of "RECOGNIZE," and Mr. Sawamura, director of "Azumaben," a retailer that carries the brand, to get an early look at the brand "RECOGNIZE," which will be the focus of much attention in the future.

RECOGNIZE FIRST COLLECTION

The first collection of "RECOGNIZE" has finally launched, featuring MURO and KANDYTOWN's IO as models. The models for the collection are Mr. MURO and IO of KANDYTOWN, street icons symbolizing both the 90's and the present day. The photos taken with a fisheye lens that evoke those days also have a great atmosphere, and we wonder how the "Recognize" style proposed by Mr. MURO, who is well versed in the street scene of the 90s, will resonate with today's street. We will keep an eye on it.

Focus on Items.

"RECOGNIZE" STITCHED HOODIE
