WTAPS | Urahara, Community, Streetculture, Design Approach, Tetsu Nishiyama | Pick of the Week #42

For the longest time, WTAPS was the one Japanese streetwear brand that every Western retailer wanted on their roster. The military-infused label founded by Tetsu Nishiyama back in 1997 has long been one of the vanguards of the OG Japanese streetwear movement, but the brand’s cagey operations and lack of accessibility to stores outside of Japan have made it hard to come across. Until very recently, the brand only sold out of their showroom, meaning prospective stockists were expected to make the long trip to Tokyo if they even wanted to get a look.
