Junya Watanabe MAN works in collaboration with Reigning Champ on a new collection of cozy streetwear designs that are all uniquely made. Each piece is hand-tailored so no two items are the same. Arriving just in time for the Summer 2022 season, the two deliver two special styles. This includes the Lightweight Terry Crewneck sweater and the matching Lightweight Terry Slim Sweatpants.
The sweater is made from a fine French terry material and detailed with a custom paisley flock graphic that takes the form of Junya Watanabe MAN's signature emblem that reads 'eYe.' The sweatpants boast a slim fit and has a drop-crotch sarouel shape with details including the re-tailored zipped fly, woven patch pockets at the back, and drape around the thigh.
