MASTERMIND JAPAN X PUERTA DEL SOL X THEATER8 X CROWS ZERO 2 COLLABORATION PREVIEW
In 2007 the highly popular Manga Crows Zero was brought to life on the big screen by renowned film director Takashi Miike.
Crows Zero is set in a Japanese high school and tells the story of the very violent struggle by different student factions to conquer the school and become number 1.
The movie is a prequel to the Manga and tells the so far untold story of some of the main characters.
As brutal as it is cool, the iconic Japanese High School styling has always been a major part of Crows history.
When the movie was released, Crown Jewel collaborated with Puerta Del Sol and Roen to produce some limited items to celebrate the launch.
With the launch of the Crows Zero 2 set for the 11th April, Crown Jewel have announced new items will be made, this time with the help of Theater8, Mastermind Japan and again, Puerta Del Sol
No news on what the items will be yet, however, Puerta Del Sol will release a new accessory and Theater8 x Mastermind Japan will be releasing the clothing part.
The release date is also expected to be around the 11th April.
Here are the items released for the first movie, and this should give us an idea of what is to come.I am very excited about this. Some of my favourite brands collaborating with one of my favourite Manga/Movies?!!?
It doesn't get much better, does it?
