Collaboration TEE with Japanese Artist Tatsuya Yokosaka
We invited Japanese artist Tatsuya Yokosaka to collaborate with us because we wanted to capture the true essence of running: the joy found in simply moving.
Running is not only about pursuing speed or personal records. It can be running at your own pace, sharing a conversation while moving alongside someone, or following your instincts and running freely. Each of these moments represents an important part of what running means to us.
Yokosaka’s artwork is filled with free and imaginative ideas born from childhood memories and a playful spirit. His unique world evokes the pure feeling we had as children, when we were completely absorbed in races, games of tag, and simply running for the joy of it.
Through this collaboration, featuring artwork inspired by the transforming robots he was fascinated by as a child, we express our vision:
“Make running more free. Make running more fun.”
This is the feeling we have put into this collaboration.
Tatsuya Yokosaka
Born in 1981 in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. Currently based in Tokyo.
Inspired by the techniques of cel animation, Yokosaka creates works by layering illustrations drawn on transparent film over painted canvas backgrounds.
He presented this approach in 2021 at Tokyo Motor Pool 1.5.
Using motifs rooted in his own formative experiences, he continues to explore immersive forms of expression through his artwork.
Why We Chose Four-Color Separation Printing
For this collaboration, we selected a silkscreen four-color separation printing technique, layering each CMYK plate one color at a time.
Although this method requires considerable time and craftsmanship, the careful layering process creates rich colors, delicate gradations, and allows the intricate details of the artwork to be reproduced beautifully. Its exceptional durability is another unique advantage of this technique.
In contrast, inkjet printing applies ink directly onto fabric without the use of printing plates. While it is suitable for small production runs and shorter lead times, the texture and character of the finished print are different.
Our goal was not simply to print a graphic, but to deliver the colors, depth, and texture that define Tatsuya Yokosaka’s artwork as faithfully as possible.
Not just printing the artwork, but delivering the artwork itself.
That is why we chose four-color separation printing.
High-Performance Quick-Drying Fabric
We use AIR DOTT® mesh fabric featuring excellent breathability and made with COOLMAX® EcoMade fibers from Lycra.
COOLMAX®’s uniquely shaped fibers enhance capillary action, quickly drawing sweat away from the skin and dispersing it across the surface of the fabric. Its excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties accelerate evaporation.
Furthermore, the cooling effect created through evaporation, combined with the high breathability of AIR DOTT® mesh, helps prevent heat buildup inside the garment while maintaining a cool, dry, and comfortable feel.
It keeps you in an optimal condition throughout your run.
Merino Wool Blend Rib Designed for Neckline Comfort
For the neckline area, where sweat tends to accumulate, we use a rib fabric made with 53% non-mulesed Australian merino wool and 47% polyester containing 30% COOLMAX®.
The natural antibacterial and odor-resistant properties of merino wool, along with its smooth and comfortable feel against the skin, are combined with COOLMAX®’s excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance.
Even during high-sweat activities, it helps maintain a dry and comfortable feeling around the neck.
Carefully Engineered Length Design
The slightly extended body length provides a balanced silhouette when styled with running tights or leggings, while also adapting naturally to a wide range of outfits.
Long side slits improve ventilation during movement while also enhancing accessibility to pants pockets.
The design is carefully engineered to provide comfort and freedom of movement without interfering with your stride while running.
COOLMAX® EcoMade｜Circular Recycled Polyester
COOLMAX® EcoMade fibers are recycled polyester fibers made from 100% textile waste, including leftover fabrics, unused yarn, and cutting scraps.
Textile materials that would otherwise be discarded or sent to landfill are collected and regenerated as valuable resources.
The material is recycled through the following process:
Collection → Depolymerization & Purification → Pelletization → Fiber Production → Fabric Manufacturing → Garment Production
Through this circular production process, the use of new petroleum-based materials is reduced while creating high-quality regenerated fibers.
After recycling, the fibers retain functional performance equivalent to polyester made from virgin materials, delivering comparable moisture-wicking and quick-drying capabilities.
