Japanese Artist Yu Nagaba Teams Up with thisisneverthat for Hip-Hop Inspired Capsule Collection
Yu Nagaba, the renowned Japanese visual artist, has once again joined forces with a streetwear powerhouse, this time collaborating with Korean label thisisneverthat. Known for his unique sketches, Nagaba has previously worked with UNIQLO on a Disney-themed collection. Now, he brings his signature style to a range of apparel and home goods in partnership with thisisneverthat.
Sketches Inspired by Hip-Hop Classics
Nagaba’s capsule collection draws inspiration from iconic hip-hop albums, with the standout piece being a black nylon work jacket featuring the words “Check Your Head” on the back. This is a nod to the Beastie Boys’ studio album of the same name, with a sketch of the album cover imprinted underneath. The collection also includes a pastel blue t-shirt with a basketball sketch, a ceramic mug with intricate basketball player illustrations, and a pair of white shorts with blue accents and a matching bucket hat.

The Yu Nagaba x thisisneverthat capsule collection will be available for purchase on the official thisisneverthat webstore on Thursday, August 22 at 9 p.m. EST. The range features a predominantly neutral color palette of gray, black, and white, with pops of bright blue for a touch of contrast.
