Bal is an upcycled collaboration. We will be releasing a limited number of denim and shirts that we have worked on with two high-profile designers.

After "Balance Wear Design" was founded in 1999, "bal" will celebrate its 25th anniversary next year. The two companies will collaborate on a limited number of items available only at directly managed stores.

ii_iiiiiiiiiii x bal〉Overdyed denim, ¥38,500 each (bal flagship store)

First up is a denim collaboration with ii_iiiiiiii, who worked as head designer at Unused and now works as a freelance designer. Based on vintage relaxed-fit denim, tie-dye artist Shun Hata hand-bleached and dyed the denim several times to create a deep color.

As is typical of the foodie Baru, this time they are available in two colors: wine red, inspired by red wine, and olive, the perfect accompaniment to a glass of wine. The indigo of a certain denim brand has been reborn as a color with a full-fledged taste, and we are very curious to see what it will look like when worn in.

THRIFTWEARMARKET & FLEAMARKETOUrr x bal] remake shirt ¥26,400 each (bal flagship store)

The other shirt is a collaboration with "Thrift Wear Market & Flea Market Tour (THRIFT WEAR MARKET & FLEAMARTKET TOUrr)" started by Hisaya Kanno, formerly of "Yesterday's Tomorrow.

This is the third collaboration, and this time, remade shirts combining vintage shirts from unique perspectives will appear. Three types of shirts were produced: denim, broadcloth, and oxford, and they were seasoned with bleach and overdyed.

Both items are one-of-a-kind and will only be available at the "bal flagship store" under the direct management of "bal". Check out the lineup of items below.
