CLOT x Medicom Toy x Levi’s Watermelon & Strawberry Denim

As last year saw the successful pairings of CLOT, MEDICOM TOY and Levi’s on a set of Bearbricks, the concept has once again been re-applied on a new medium. The three brands have come together to apply the Watermelon and Strawberry theme to a pair of men’s and women’s denim, the 505 and 280 respectively. The well-distressed denim features a handful of relevant imagery including CLOT logos and touches of watermelon and strawberry on the patches. The aforementioned fruity references are also shown into the weft of the denim at the leg opening and when cuffed expose the colorful print. The women’s 280 goes a bit further with Bearbrick embroideries in the form of the silhouette of the Bearbrick’s head and a marching Strawberry Bearbrick. The denim will release this Friday, December 19th, exclusively at Juice in Hong Kong. To help kick things off, we have two prize packs up for grabs. To enter, answer the question seen below and reply in the comments section.

PLEASE ALSO INCLUDE YOUR DENIM/WAIST SIZE. PLEASE ONLY SUBMIT YOUR COMMENT ONCE. YOUR COMMENT WILL SHOW UP WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Nike Re-mixed & Re-cut by Nancy Wu


Long heralded as one of the top art schools in the nation, Art Center College of Design in Pasadena has produced countless heavyweights in the industry for a long time. Product Design student, Nancy Wu, looks to be headed into that very direction with her masterful approach to cut and sew sneaker design. Taking elements from three separate pairs of footwear, Wu constructs various new models featuring a look reminiscent of those old school Roman sandals with a new age approach. Although the complete reconstruction customs have been done before, her designs are taken to another level with the creation of a completely original silhouette.
