UNDERCOVER Print T-shirt and U GIZ TEE reprinted during SCAB

Established by JONIO (Shield Takahashi) in 1989, Nowhere is an apparel brand that boasts overwhelming popularity both in Japan and abroad.
He and NIGO (now HUMAN MADE), the founder of A BATHING APE, launched Nowhere in Ura-Harajuku in 1993 and have been leading the Ura-Harajuku boom.


Nowhere's unique designs with a somewhat punk and dark atmosphere have been highly acclaimed overseas. In recent years, the market price of archival items has skyrocketed, and they are sometimes sold at a higher price than current items in the second-hand market. 

UNDERCOVER participated in the Paris Collection for the first time in 2003SS with the theme of "scab". This 2003SS is commonly referred to as the SCAB period, and even now, more than 15 years later, it is a collection that is loved by many people.



The items introduced here are two printed T-shirts from the 2016SS, commonly known as the GREATEST period, which reprinted the 2003SS.
These t-shirts feature the standard U logo with a jagged "GIZ pattern" for added impact. The motif of the "GIZ pattern" is the tattoo that the designer, Mr. Jun Takahashi, has on his arm.

If you wear this, many people will be able to tell at a glance which brand you are wearing. The design is simple yet impactful, and is quite rare even in Japan.
