SEGA's Like a Dragon series practically invented the Japanese gangster game genre, spawning over a dozen spin-offs since its 2005 debut. Its intricate character designs and sprawling storylines have kept players hooked for years.
Now, the Like a Dragon Studio has teamed up with renowned designer Yohji Yamamoto's casual fashion sub-brand, "WILDSIDE YOHJI YAMAMOTO," for a killer apparel collection that perfectly blends both their unique vibes. The goods drop on July 26th at the official WILDSIDE online store and physical locations.
Launched in 2022, WILDSIDE YOHJI YAMAMOTO reinterprets Yohji Yamamoto's iconic elements with a more casual, contemporary twist. It crafts unisex apparel lines and integrates art and content to showcase a truly distinctive style.
This actually marks the third collaboration between the two! This time around, the collection features graphic tees and short-sleeved shirts. The designs boast a powerful aesthetic, incorporating each character's signature tattoos to highlight the bonds and destinies woven throughout the series. While these pieces might be a bold fashion statement for some, they absolutely nail the captivating world of the "Like a Dragon" series.
The T-shirts draw inspiration from three iconic relationships within the series, using their intertwined tattoos to symbolize their bonds. Paired with classic in-game streetscapes, these shirts don't just tell a story; they fully immerse you in the "Like a Dragon" universe.
