Men of all generations must have longed for them when they were children and waited impatiently in front of the TV for their appearance. I am talking about "Kamen Rider.
HENSHIN by KAMEN RIDER" is a fashion brand that offers apparel based on the "Masked Rider" series, which has been aired since the Heisei era.
The theme of the new collection is "Masked Rider Ex-Aid. Daisuke Hashizume, designer of "biscuithead," was in charge of design supervision and pattern production. The theme is a reinterpretation of the game through the filter of fashion, with a young resident doctor as the main character, and with game elements incorporated into the rider's activities.

First, a medical coat worn by a doctor with details related to "Kamen Rider Ex-Aid".
The most distinctive feature is that it is reversible. The surface is based on a white coat, with a tube on the chest that resembles a stethoscope and embroidery on the sleeves that pays homage to the mark of the Holy Metropolitan University Hospital that appears in the program.
The bright purple reverse side is accented with a pixel patch inspired by the Bugster (the generic name for the monsters in "Kamen Rider Ex-Aid").
The design, which has completely different expressions on the front and back, is finished to well express the duality of the protagonist and the bugster that infects him.
Each ¥11,000
The T-shirt expresses duality in a different way from the previous one, with the front and back cut back with different materials. The lineup will include two colors: the "Doctor" color, which is white with pink mesh, and the "Bugster" color, which is black with purple mesh.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary T-shirt, but the mesh side has raglan sleeves that give it a sporty feel, and Hashizume's pattern technique shines through in this item.
22,000 yen
These pants are a variant that can be worn regardless of front or back. Not only do they switch between denim and jersey, but they are asymmetrical in design down to the details, with the former having an original buckle at the waist and the latter having three different colored ties.
¥27,500
These high-cut sneakers have an overwhelming presence with their glossy enamel material, vivid color palette, and EX-head ACT2, the symbol of the Ex-Aid.
The eyelets are colored to resemble the game controller buttons, and the world of the game is recreated in every detail.
The new collection of "HENSHIN by KAMEN RIDER" is now available for pre-order on the brand's official website, where you can enjoy the world of the screen through fashion.
