Many of you look forward to this annual release. Our very own Daisuke Obana, creative director of N.HOOLYWOOD TEST PRODUCT EXCHANGE SERVICE ( N.HOOLYWOOD TPES), has collaborated with us once again for 2025.

Many of you may be familiar with Daisuke Obana’s “Records of Pain”, which he presented last year. Once again, we have created a sweatshirt and hoodie inspired by the world of vintage clothing, a realm deeply connected to his roots.

The release starts Saturday, February 8th at Mister hollywood, Mister hollywood OSAKA, N-HOOLYWOOD.COM, N.HOOLYWOOD stores, and all 3 LOOPWHEELER stores.

It was around this time last year… During our first meeting, Obana-san took a great liking to the 100-year brushed sweatshirt I was wearing that day. That moment led us to make the brushing machine the core element of this project.

The sweatshirt is a true testament to great design. Available in one color, sizes S~XL, priced at 44,000 JPY (tax excluded).

We encourage you to try it on—it offers a completely different feel from LOOPWHEELER’s standard lineup.

After numerous prototypes, we finally perfected this hoodie with an externally attached hood, a design envisioned by Obana.

The hood attachment required an advanced sewing technique, making it much harder to execute than it seems.

Even the kangaroo pocket was meticulously designed. The proportions and overall balance are impeccable. We highly recommend seeing it in person.

The hoodie comes in the same Oatmeal color, available in S~XL, priced at 49,500 JPY (tax included). The collection has been featured on Honeycomb and WWD—if you have time, please check it out! We look forward to welcoming you this weekend. Thank you as always.
