Shinsuke Takizawa

Recognized as one of the founding members of the Japanese streetwear scene, NEIGHBORHOOD’s Shinsuke Takizawa continued to build his legacy throughout 2016.

Not content to stop there, Takizawa also partnered with THE FOURNESS founder Kazuki Kuraishi and Grenson creative director Tim Little to launch a footwear label simply titled “4.” Keep your eyes peeled for what the streetwear veteran has to offer in the incoming year.
