"Albino & Preto continues to push the boundaries of martial arts apparel with a collaboration that merges street culture and combat sports in a way few brands could pull off. The California-based label has teamed up with legendary New York graffiti artist Stash to revive his influential Subware brand for a collection that pays tribute to the Ura-Hara era, a time when streetwear, art, and utilitarian design shaped the global style conversation."
"The Ura-Hara era, named after the backstreets of Harajuku in Tokyo, was where Japanese streetwear's foundations were laid in the 1990s and early 2000s. Subware stood out during this time as a voice for graffiti culture and an emblem of rebellion. Stash, a pioneering graffiti writer and visual artist, created the brand as an extension of his work, bringing bold, stencil-driven graphics and utilitarian design to the forefront."
"The capsule stays true to Subware's DNA with its use of iconic motifs, stenciled graphics, and a new Albino & Preto x Subware camo pattern that gives the apparel a contemporary yet nostalgic edge. This is not simply a reprint of old designs-it's a deliberate recontextualization, aligning the spirit of 1990s streetwear with today's martial arts community, where individuality and heritage hold equal weight."
