MKI MIYUKI ZOKU — or simply MKI — kicked off in Leeds back in 2010, founded by Vik Taylor. What started as a local project has grown into a global name in British street style, known for its clean lines, functional design, and subtle nods to Japanese culture. The MKI MIYUKI ZOKU meaning itself comes from the Miyuki Zoku, a style-conscious youth tribe in Ginza during the ’60s, who fused Ivy League prep with Tokyo cool. That same spirit of rebellion and refinement runs through every piece of MKI clothing today.
Taylor takes those collegiate codes and reworks them for now — think preppy polos, the minimalist MKI MIYUKI ZOKU t-shirt, and the ever-essential MKI MIYUKI ZOKU hoodie. The brand’s approach is stripped back: no oversized logos, just sharp fits and fabrics that speak for themselves. From heavyweight sweatshirts to wool blends, MKI’s collections are built for layering and longevity.
Outerwear is where MKI really excels. A MKI MIYUKI ZOKU fleece delivers warmth without sacrificing style, while a MKI MIYUKI ZOKU puffer jacket brings a modern edge to cold-weather dressing. Each drop experiments with texture — 800gsm Superweight jersey, melange wool fleece track jackets, mohair knits next to washed denim, no gimmicks, no noise, just streetwear so good the quality does all the talking.
At its core, MKI is about evolution. Inspired by a Japanese youth tribe, grounded in Leeds, and worn worldwide, the brand continues to redefine what contemporary menswear looks like.
