Needles and A TRIBE CALLED QUEST are teaming up for the first time. They’re releasing a capsule collection featuring samples of iconic album artwork.

NEEDLES has been linked to a wide variety of cultural movements. Among these, its relationship with music is particularly close, and the brand is known for having garnered the support of numerous musicians.

This time, *Needles* has teamed up with A TRIBE CALLED QUEST (hereinafter ATCQ), hailing from Queens, New York. Pioneering a new wave of hip-hop with their jazz-infused sound, they remain a defining force in the 1990s hip-hop scene and continue to exert a significant influence to this day.

We sampled the artwork from *The Low End Theory*—their seminal album released in 1991 and widely regarded as a landmark in jazz-hip-hop—and incorporated it into all four designs.

B.B.Jacket – Wool Melton ¥77,000

A BB jacket featuring the bold “The Low End Theory” artwork on the back that makes a big impression.

Track Jacket – Poly Smooth ¥29,700

Track Pants – Poly Smooth ¥24,200

The familiar track jacket and track pants feature red and green, ATCQ's signature colors.

Roll Neck Cardigan ¥107,800

A roll-neck cardigan that uses knitwear manufacturer ’s 3D knitting technique to recreate the body-painting patterns seen in the artwork for *The Low End Theory*.

Across all items, the “Needles” icon—the butterfly embroidery—is also covered in ATCQ’s signature colors.

This collaboration once again highlights the distinctive style of *Needles*, which has strong ties to music. The items, imbued with the mood of ATCQ’s classic album, are sure to be a must-have for fans of both brands. They go on sale Saturday, October 17.
