Neighborhood

When tracing the roots of Japanese streetwear and the rise of the Ura‑Harajuku scene, leaving out NEIGHBORHOOD would ignore one of its defining forces. This maze of back alleys in Shibuya became the launchpad for the labels that shaped Tokyo’s now‑iconic street style, and among them stood Shinsuke Takizawa. In 1994, the Japanese designer pulled together his obsessions — London punk rock, 1970’s American motorcycle culture, and a love for anything loud or rebellious — and built a piece of NEIGHBORHOOD Japan history that carried his fingerprint in every stitch.

What was once a secret gem of a find reserved for those visiting Japan has since grown into a global fixture. NEIGHBORHOOD clothing blends military influences and biker grit. Each season introduces a new chapter, as the brand continues to evolve and deliver a full wardrobe, shirts, hoodies, denim, utility jackets, and its signature NEIGHBORHOOD t‑shirts with those distinct skull‑and‑crossbone graphics.
