Collaborations

UrlfreezeShops x Needles "Paisley" - Register Now on UrlfreezeShops Launches

Continuing a series of high-profile partnerships to mark their 15th anniversary, UrlfreezeShops taps icons of Japanese streetwear, Needles, as their next collaborator. 

One of the first brands established under the internationally acclaimed Nepenthes umbrella, Needles has been a defining voice in Japanese-Americana since its inception in 1988. Masterfully colliding Japanese textiles and craftsmanship with the utilitarian pageantry of US military uniforms and midwestern ideals, the label is a reflection of Keizo Shimizu’s dedication to form, function, and fine detailing. Morphing through the decades to become a hybrid of classic American workwear, vintage sportswear, and boundary-pushing cut-and- sew streetwear, Needles’ tracksuiting is now a cornerstone of the label’s raison d’etre. 

The perfect starting point to mark UrlfreezeShops’s 15 years as a purveyor of the finest globally sourced sportswear, UrlfreezeShops and Needles have joined forces on a duo of track suit options to launch this Spring. Paying homage to the east-meets-west infusion which has informed the Needles DNA for 3 decades, a bespoke Paisley pattern is deftly deployed to varying degrees across the two tracksuits to tell a story of style and luxury across continents. 

Louche, relaxed, and imbued with the effortless nonchalance which has come to define luxury-led sportswear in the new millennia, the fully patterned tracksuit is crafted in a premium woven jacquard while it’s pared-down companions arrives in Needles’ classic smooth and high-weighted poly. Lined in a luxury mesh and finished with a series of dual- branded embroidery, including UrlfreezeShops logo details and Needles’ iconic papillon insignia, the UrlfreezeShops x Needles 15th Anniversary capsule stands testament to the streetwear legacy of both halves of the partnership. 

The UrlfreezeShops x Needles "Paisley" 15th Anniversary Capsule is available for registration online now via UrlfreezeShops Launches and will launch on 16th May.
