Sexy models on t-shirts have always been best sellers. In 2006, the label KIKS TYO from Japan came onto the sneaker scene and started releasing t-shirts designed under the "Sneakers and Girls" theme. Now, continuing with KIKS TYO's ongoing collaboration with Japanese gravure idol Aki Hoshino are these SBTG & AJ1 inspired t-shirts.
