Japanese football creatives Crab.FC reveal their first “Street Football kit”, making it a first new team kit for the club in three years, alongside a series of one-of-a-kind pieces from “Crab Layers” – a collection of rearranged existing football apparel.
Football culture is rapidly on the increase in the East. From South Korea to Japan, the action on the pitch is being supported by a thirst for all things culture on the street. And that’s evident in the latest release from Crab FC, a Japanese creative collective, who last popped up on our radar thanks to a collaboration with PPRN Seoul. This latest drop is Crab FC's first “kit” in three years, and it’s been coupled with a supporting collection that places a nice emphasis on up-cycling.
The ‘Street football kit’ collection is comprised of two specially designed sweatshirts made up of durable fabric that prevents tearing while playing street football, featuring a small embroidered logo on the chest. The design of the tops is inspired by the story of member Gaku Tashiro who spent time in Los Angeles playing street football with his sweatshirt inside out due to poverty and inability to wash clothes.
These items will be available in two colours, grey and black. A small pop up will be held in ‘Kimama’ in Tokyo to commemorate the production of this collection.
Along with the "Street Football Kit", Crab FC have produced a wider collection called "Crab Layers". With an eye on sustainability and up-cycling certain items, the collection takes existing football apparel and puts a Crab FC spin on proceedings, creating a range of one-of-a-kind pieces, including a standout Kappa track top.
