In brief, thereโs so much to say that one word wonโt suffice. TET (Tetsu Nishiyama) @tetsu_nishiyama , the iconic Japanese designer behind @wtaps_tokyo , @forty_percent_against_rights , and @dcdt_2014 , a Harajuku Legend, needs no introduction in the fashion world. Heโs greatly influenced my perception of โStreetwearโ and, Iโm sure, for many others. Transitioning from an admirer to a family friend has been an unbelievable journey. Weโve collected memories, including a recent DCDT interview and vintage shopping for a Popeye magazine feature, offering insights into his unique perspective and attention to detail.

Newly updated A&P shirt blanks. I filmed this a while back and forgot to post it. About a month ago I shared a preview on my story of the new blanks, which weโve refined from the originals we launched about five years ago. Figured Iโd finally break down some of the key updates.
We listened. This is about you. Weโre introducing a 6.5 oz pre-shrunk tee that fits like our old 20 oz jersey cotton shirt, and weโre dropping it in a range of colors.
Some of you already received the new blank tees from the wrestling collection, but moving forward, after this recent Tupac collection, all of our printables will be on the 6.5 oz pre-shrunk, binded collar, garment-dyed shirts.
Lesssgoooo! Spread the positive affirmation.
Growing up in the late 80โs/90s, Tupac was my idol. I had him on repeat every day, and even my dad was a fan. I even pierced my nose because of Pac, and honestly I might run that back lol.
To celebrate todayโs drop, @djerok put together a dope mix on YouTube. Link in my bio.
What a feeling. Me and my Pops used to play Tupac every day, and now weโre dropping a vinyl and a full collection of training and lifestyle apparel very soon. Full circle.
Founded by Satoshi Takahashi, also known as โGypsy,โ Shanana Mil has become synonymous with its meticulously hand sewn daisies ๐ผ, often stitched onto vintage garments with quiet intention.
For this collaboration, A&P partnered with Shanana Mil to create a deeply sentimental collection that honors Takahashiโs Japanese heritage, respect for martial arts, and devotion to hand craftsmanship. The result is a thoughtful range of pieces, including a midweight canvas martial arts uniform and functional gi pants designed for everyday wear, where tradition, utility, and story intersect.

A&P x KISS - Trained to reign as the oneโฆ #sooncome
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY!.
What started as a conversation in 2020 slowly turned into an idea that may have just been ahead of its time. With @kingjames brand @uninterrupted leading the charge around โmore than an athlete,โ and working closely alongside Thomas and Ryan, we believed โMore Than a Fighterโ could live in a similar space w/ something new, something bigger than what we originally imagined.
But as the brand began shifting from apparel into a content-focused platform, the direction changed. The ideas we built and the samples we developed slowly came to an end.
It was a reminder of how quickly something thoughtful and full of potential can pivot in the opposite direction. Still, when I look back, Iโm proud that we tried. Sometimes thatโs the part that matters most. We move forward and not over think these experiences.
