Champion and Loopwiller’s collaboration is the brainchild of Daisuke Ohana of N. Hollywood!
This collaboration is a special project conceived by N. Hollywood designer Daisuke Oka, who owns a rare vintage Champion sweatshirt, and realized through a deep relationship with LOOPWHEELER representative Satoshi Suzuki. Mr. Oka, the initiator of the collaboration, was appointed as the designer, and Mr. Tomo Yazane of Kilimanjaro Co. The special name tag, based on the 1990 Champion tag, is a limited edition.
The one and only Reverse Weave® sweatshirt is born!
The new crewneck sweatshirt is made in the USA from LW Light suspension-lined fabric, one of LOOPWHEELER’s most popular materials, and is produced using the Reverse Weave® process, which is synonymous with Champion. The LW Light suspension-lined fabric is brought to the factory in the U.S. that produces Champion’s MADE IN USA line, and produced using the Reverse Weave® method, resulting in a one-of-a-kind sweatshirt.
The sweatshirt has a relaxed fit with an authentic and beautiful silhouette, which was achieved through modification after modification of the pattern to match the LW lightweight lined fabric. The C logo embroidery on the left chest and the C logo patch on the left sleeve are both symbolic of Champion. In addition, a special Loopwiller name made in Champion’s brand colors is attached to the tip of the left sleeve, and Loopwiller’s identity logo is printed in the same color on the lower right portion of the rear body. It will be produced in a limited edition of 500 pieces with serial numbers and sold in a special box.
In addition, a special movie in which the main members involved in this collaboration talk about the process from the conception to the completion of the collaboration and their thoughts and commitment to this item will also be shown. A special movie was also released at the same time, in which the main members involved in this collaboration talked about their thoughts and commitment to this item.
