Tokyo Remixes Underground Style at Daybreak
Translating how the city’s dress code interprets wearing Crocs’ Classic Mega Crush Clog
(
)
The emergence of the Harajuku scene
put Tokyo on the global fashion map and came to a boiling point in the early ‘90s. At the height of the style scene’s cosmic crash, the pulsating design district became an electric epicenter of youth culture drawn to rebellious fashion modes of expression, and aggressively-styled dress codes.
Style Residency is an integral part of Hypebae’s brand DNA, as we showcase the latest in footwear and streetwear. Taking that one step further, Style Residency, will showcase the different modes in which individuals from our community creatively translate how they dress, stemming from varying cities around the world.
This comes through in punk-meets-rave outfits like utilitarian pants enhanced with zippered compartments and padded design elements, pops of primary colors and futuristic-tinged accessories that boldly displays how the Classic Mega Crush Clog can be worn. Another example of ways the scene furthers the art of individuality can be seen in the second look, which showcases how tactile silhouettes and neon colors born from the scene’s underground music culture can be worn during the day and further accentuated with quirky yet unique Jibbitz™ charms.

By interlacing Western styles with traditional dressing,
The wearer was able to create fashion trends, thus placing greater emphasis on individuality rather than the designer or label being worn. Remaining true to this ethos of anti-conformist dressing, stylist Marie Higuchi outfitted Crocs’ Classic Mega Crush Clog with dramatic, cyberpunk silhouettes and day-glow rave wear. The reimagined footwear silhouette utilizes a new design language, innovative construction and added height that align with Tokyo’s daringly-personalized style philosophy.
