UNDERCOVER and WTAPS Reunite for New "ONE ON ONE" Capsule
With broadcloth tops, T-shirts, and shorts boasting stills from Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 film, ‘Seven Samurai.’
Summary
- UNDERCOVER and WTAPS are back with another “ONE ON ONE” collection.
- The line, which includes a series of designs inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 film, Seven Samurai, is set for release on August 2.
In 2022, Jun Takahashi’s UNDERCOVER and Tetsu Nishiyama’s WTAPS reunited after more than two decades with a “ONE ON ONE” collaboration, which included two drops of clean co-branded cuts. Now, thanks to the link-up’s success, the two labels are running it back again with another round of “ONE ON ONE” designs.
The line includes graphic T-shirts printed with the “〇△た” flag and cinematic stills from Seven Samurai, the 1954 film directed by Akira Kurosawa. Cotton broadcloth shirts and adjustable shorts boast all-over prints inspired by the movie’s flag, while caps and drawstring bags see the two imprints’ motifs converge alongside lettering that reads, “UNDERCOVER + WTAPS = ONE ON ONE.”

Notably, this is not the first time that UNDERCOVER has put out designs inspired by Kurosawa’s film. For Fall/Winter 2016, Takahashi collaborated with Supreme on a series of T-shirts boasting scenes from the movie overlayed with Supreme’s logo.
