R.SPORT's First Global Drop Fuses Tokyo Street Culture With Retro Sportswear
Melbourne-born label R.SPORT debuts its first international campaign, blending Tokyo street energy with retro-inspired sportswear.
Summary
- R.SPORT, founded by Anthony Puliatti and Jasper Pittard, blends team culture and lifestyle with retro-inspired sportswear
- Their first international drop, Taxi Cup, Tokyo, draws from the vibrant colours and patterns of Tokyo’s iconic taxis
- The collection features patchwork football jerseys, rugby polos, and oversized track pieces with subtle nods to Japan’s bold sports design culture
Melbourne-based collective R.SPORT has always done sportswear differently. Grounded in connection, team culture and the subtle intersection of performance and everyday life, founders Anthony Puliatti and Jasper Pittard have taken that ethos global with their first international capsule: “Taxi Cup, Tokyo.”
The collection pays tribute to the vibrant city that inspired it. On a quick trip to Tokyo, the R.SPORT team became fixated on a local detail often overlooked by visitors: the sea of taxis roaming neon-lit streets, each clad in its own colour palette, pattern and polish. That fascination translated into four key pieces that channel Tokyo’s chaotic charm through a distinctly retro sportswear lens.
Expect oversized parachute track pants and ¾-length shorts, both featuring the understated gray-and-white checker tape seen on many of Tokyo’s black taxis. Standouts include a patchwork football jersey blending four taxi-inspired patterns and a rugby polo nodding to Japan’s signature clean design. Subtle touches, such as the Tokyo Team Crest, reference the J.LEAGUE’s legacy of bold jersey culture, a detail sure to resonate with global football fans.
