SSZ, which conveys the mood of the moment through music, art, and messages rooted in surf and skate culture, has announced its second collaboration with WTAPS®—the first in five years. Following their initial partnership in 2021, this latest endeavor celebrates the 30th anniversary of WTAPS® and the 10th anniversary of SSZ.

This collection features seven pieces centered around the mood of the “good old Japanese businessman.” With shirts based on the silhouette of a classic dress shirt and straight-leg trousers, the lineup incorporates nostalgic elements while proposing a style that blurs the lines between formal and casual.

The lineup includes the white SHIRT 01 (27,500 yen) and brown checked SHIRT 02 (30,800 yen), TROUSERS in gray and black (36,300 yen), as well as a TEE (16,500 yen), FOOTWEAR (49,500 yen), BELT (16,500 yen), and BANDANNA (4,400 yen).

The SSZ x WTAPS® collaboration items will be available starting Saturday, October 3 at BEAMS Harajuku, WTAPS® (W_Lab), WTAPS® (W_Lab) Kyoto, the WTAPS® official online store, and all HOODS locations. (*All prices in the text include tax.)
