The company was launched in Salt Lake City, Utah, to fill a void in the fashion market that did not yet exist.AKIMBO CLUBThe company started out in 2019 as a resale that handled vintage items and has now evolved into a locally focused presence with an out-of-the-box approach to creating original products and collaborating with car manufacturers and contemporary artists.
The brand's great strength lies in its research and experience in vintage collecting, which has taken up a great deal of time, and its unique curation skills with workwear and sportswear. The brand's approach of selecting high-quality items with a well-honed aesthetic and reinterpreting them from a contemporary perspective has gained support from a wide range of generations.
Akimbo Club" has chosen Japan as its new place of expression. The brand has launched in Japan with three items that faithfully embody its roots.
The first collection to be included in the lineup is a sweatshirt series made with a 14 oz. Mexican body. Although quite thick, the lining is equipped with a soft fleece liner, making it quite light and comfortable to wear.
The heart of the design is, above all, Akimbo Club's original graphic pattern. The real tree camouflage and leopard patterns go well with the dry-textured body, creating a deep expression that looks as if it has been around for a long time.
AKIMBO ZIP UP HOODIE / REALTREE ¥38,000
This piece is based on the "Realtree® Edge Camo" and has been reworked to incorporate a custom colorway into the original zip hooded body. The camouflage pattern is positioned as the brand's signature and is an important motif that has been continuously developed.
AKIMBO HOODIE / LEOPARD ¥37,000
This is a piece that boldly incorporates the original leopard pattern into the ribs and even the inside of the hood. The pattern is placed down to the smallest detail to create a design that stands out when worn. The silhouette is a slightly looser boxy fit compared to the Zip Hoodie.
AKIMBO STRAIGHT-LEG SWEATPANTS / LEOPARD ¥36,000
Sweat pants made of the same fabric as the leopard hoodie. The straight silhouette falls in a straight line to the hem, giving the pants a sophisticated slacks-like appearance without giving the impression of loungewear.
Although the collection is minimalist in structure this time, it is said that variations will be expanded in the future, so let's look forward to further news.
We look forward to your continued patronage of the Akimbo Club, which continues to move forward in its constant search for new possibilities.
