Needles Tapered Track Pants

Needles

Needles is Keizo Shimizu’s Tokyo label (Nepenthes family), famous for reconstructed Americana and butterfly-logo track pants. It is great at taking vintage U.S. sportswear and cutting it slightly wrong, in a good way. The side-stripe track pant became a fashion-week uniform. Fun fact: those pants started as a small Japanese take on Western athletic kit and ended up everywhere.
