I just wanna look like a future ninja
Fax’s
I don't know why I read "a future nigga" at first
Super cool to be a ninja
David Moreno lmao I read it like that as well 😂
@@Metalheadaches When I read future nigga I saw the one dude in the Cyberpunk 2076 ad
Imagine how cool all this would look with a prosthetic bebionic arm
yesssss
Man if only the ones we had in today's world were fast enough
Damm I can see it too
i never asked for this..
i defo chop my arm lol
Great intro man - you packed a lot of info and inspiration in.
Stone Island Shadow Project is another Errolson Hugh-designed line worth looking at as they use a lot of futuristic cuts/fabrics
Haha yooooooo!
When I saw this comment I didn't realize it was you Antwon! Haha. Anyway thanks for watching oh...and subbed ~ Reggie
Haha all good Reggie - thanks!
eeeyyyyy!!! tried out the nike free rn motion flyknit and it was comfortable! comfortable ninja/techwear shoes. hahaha
This Is Antwon o
Brands worth mentioning: Guerrilla Group and enfin leve
Guerrilla Group is probably the most accessible "true" techwear we've seen as far as price is concerned, enfin leve on the other hand is more pragmatic. It's tech but simple enough to be anything else. Past collections from enfin leve were hardly tech at all and more in the "Rick Owens" side of design.
both of those brands are purely aesthetic though. other than pockets they aren't actually tech, materials on gg are notoriously fast-fashiony
Let's rephrase and say "the look" is true techwear or at least the image of what most people want. Many people use GG for their set-ups and it consistent. The fast fashion element is due to trend and silhouette more than anything. The materials aren't so much. ECOYA and ripstop fabric are legit which is what GG uses a lot of. Most of there garments are waterproof as well. So when you mention it's not tech the counter argument would have to be "then what is?" ACRONYM is by far the most viable but if you can't afford it where do you go? The next best thing is either pulling from various brands OR GG
THE CASUAL I guess you can say techwear is kind of a subjective term, but in the end it's all about the materials to protect you from the elements to a lot of pockets to carry various items. GG is in a kind of state where the clothes are purely focused on the look and access to a lot of different pockets I think.
This dude looks like the fashion guy from hunger games
Some Dude you mean Lenny Kravitz?! Lmao!
Yeah lenny kravits and his daughter is in insurgent.
his style is pretty wicked
Lmao
oh shiiiiiit lol
TRUTH!
Techwear: Most expensive way to look like a schoolshooter.
The concept is pretty cool though.
hilarious...but we don't have guns in Japan so we just use katanas when we want terrorize schools
I guess that's where the ninja-inspiration comes from haha.
Really enjoy your content btw :)
Lmao
8:38 he about to slice up a school.
This is probably the best channel on TH-cam
no.
Right! I came across this channel like where has it been??
Not probably. It is 👍 I've learned so much
Like, for fashion, or just the whole fucking website?
This is awfully subjective lol. Also something you can't even know as far as your own tastes go.
I love tech wear but the money...damn
get yo money up
just do triple black athleisure. fuck what these snobs say
Ik man, how come some are just as good but one cost $40, the other $120 and the last one is like $2500 for just a single piece
@Ragnar Stygian can you explain further what are the things that make a piece of clothing to be considered good quality?
@@YumiSumire I think it's more of a supply and demand & combined with branding. famous designer are desirable to many people but he is just you know, one person, they can't make it for every one of you.
acronym nike collabs are pretty nice
Team Itachi ftw...but seriously killing it, visual game is stepping up!
Anthony Deluca sick to see another person that appreciates Naruto lmao
aha yes!!
you don't say
Know pain
The editing is great here. For the more athleisure/affordable side of things, I think that the Nike Sportswear line is worth keeping in mind. I just got a pair of the Bonded Joggers and they fit the look pretty well imo.
Modern ninjitsu user intensifies!!!!
TsunMLG Virgin no jutsu
lurk no, jutsu? :O
Himiko Toga it's an anime thing from Naruto
GTA TRYHARD NO JUTSU!!!
If the grim reaper got into techwear he'd wear ACG
says ACG is cheap, so i looked it up. First two things i saw were over $600, closed the page...
Josh Johnson look on grailed second hand but alot cheaper
Look acronym and compare the prices
@@killersushi99 thsts called cyberpunk fashion not techwear
Anime inspired the Techwear style
.
KinGIIRomE Not wrong.
tokyo ghoul and ghost in the shell especially.
which came from ridley scott movies lol
I think techwear derived from cyberpunk kinda like an evolution from the retro future to the dark gridy future of big citys
this video kinda explains it's not inspired from anime at all. If anything anime that exhibits techwear is usually inspired by real world fashion and real people who actually wear it already. techwear looks the way it looks cause it's functional and it does seem to be inspired by ninja or athletic wear or futuristic functional wear just like he states in the video.
it reminds me of just a match or mix of clothes that serve a purpose or like harajuku style it's a mixture of clothes to great a unique style or silhouette or look
"Future utilitarian" is definitely what I'm trying to reach in terms of the techwear style. It's "different" on another level. I've bought most of my clothing items from "Urban Society" and "Blank Walls", but I'm looking to get into the more "expensive" pieces.
When you always thought the goth kids at school were cool but you bullied them anyway.
UNDEAD i think by goth he means wearing all black all the time.
yeah but you can pull techwear in many other colors as well tbh.
this is far from goth. learn the difference between techwear and goth. techwear dont have to be fully black
Here in the USA most would call it Goth. Thankfully you have channels like this that take the time to explain
@@dietrichmuller172 it's literally a joke
The Nike ACG Jacket in Canada, its over a grand.
Great overview of techwear! When shopping for techwear pieces, its important for me to remind myself that the performance is a factor and not just because it looks cool. Which can make shopping for techwear more difficult, especially without spending crazy money!
I always want to get into techwear but I see those prices. And I give up. Lol
loving the new intro
All I could think about was akira, ghost in the shell, and blade runner when I see these outfits 😂 wish I could pull them off and afford it tho tbh
For more Errolson Hugh designed stuff, obviously you've got Acronym and Nikelab ACG, but also Stone Island Shadow Project which is a darker take on techwear.
For a cleaner tech look, more simplistic and less ninja check out brands like Outlier, and Arctery'x Veilance.
Brands like Guerrilla Group tend to verge more on cosplay... plus Y-3 is guilty of a lack of tech materials with an inflated price point, whereas something like ACRNM has actual substance and function.
Josh Hawkins what brand did he mentioned on 7:50
Been waiting for another upload, keep up the good work.
So, basically, if I take any old military / police jacket / pants in black and combat boots and add few stylish elements to it, I might be the coolest techwear walking?
Popeye TheBread this is ridiculous and ugly tbh.
Well, there are many military-based brands that produce very nice looking "futuristic" clothes and are not overpriced as these tech-wear brands. Well, they are of better materials (very often, not all ofc), some better looking - personal pref. ofc, but one is meant for fashion, the other for usage. Seen many jackets/ shirts / pants that would fit nicely into tech-wear, but "famous branding" is missing.
Do it bro
Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.
Popeye TheBread Look at G-Star Raw clothing.
You have to show on writing the designers name or brands it will be cool
great video!!! well researched
great content as usual Reggie! Anyway, I'm wondering if you might possibly talk about some quality basics from Japan like Yaeca and Auralee?
That sounds like a plan
MC Hammer used to wear pants just like these. The same types of colors were popular today as back then too :thinking: Oh how style recycles itself.
Great video, a lot of info and help. I myself have got into techwear since I got some Adidas pieces and became in love with the aesthetics. Keep up the good work.
Nau out of Portland made the best rain jacket that I had ever used. The early days of the company had some courage with the design but since has chilled out and sketched more conservatively.
I love Resquad, super slept on brand.
Your production quality keeps getting better, keep it up!
excellent video. well structured and executed for ppl that wanna know
That was perfect. You absolutely nailed it 🎉
Great video. I learned a lot, very educational. Thank you Reggie.
Very cool style, thank you for the overview! Also, I enjoy listening to you, so well spoken!
tech wear is my fave!!! plz do more videos about it :)
Liked and subscribed, man I think I have commented on one video in 6 years beside this one. Seriously thank you for your content.
This channel is god damn fire! I just found it today I'm bout to watch all these videos man woo shit I'm hype YOU NEED MORE SUBS
With some DIY on more affordable tech wear, you can make it look freaking bada$$.
Are we talking about adding pockets & jacket-slings, or something more involved?
I have been buying and rocking tech wear for years. Makes sense haha it's a way of life. I'm truly inspired! Thank you for your high quality Vids!!
The most economical path to techwear: start with Uniqlo and Nike/Adidas/UA, then upgrade into tactical, mountaineering, and technical streetwear brands like Arcteryx, Mission Workshop, Triple Aught Design, Outliers, etc for 80-90% of the wardrobe. Round it out with some key accessories from full-on techwear brands and you are well on your way to dressing like an airsoft ninja.
When I visit Tokyo next, I'd kill to shop with him
I just recently got into the more traditional millennial Japanese streetwear, a pair of harem pants a light tee-shirt and a haori, I like the look of techwear but not sure if I can pull it off maybe once I get a bit more comfortable and confident in the older style streetwear
I always come back to this video when I feel my techwear enthusiasm wane a bit
Reg....uve taught me soooo much...me love ur vids bro...u working out huh...u looking kinda buff under dem garments family...and see...uve just now motivated me to get down on tht ground and get the push ups going....lol...1 PEOPLE!...1 MIND!....1 LOVE!!...1 NATION!!!!...1
Your intro is fucking sick fam
One of your best videos! Keep this shit up man! 15k subs literally makes no sense.... Keep it up!
So cool but so expensive
It would be super nice if you had an album of all the pics featured on the video. Because some are really interesting. And also some sort of list of the brands mentionned. A more extensive one.
I already love this channel.
A style that's just been on the edge of taking off is cyberpunk styles. Reggie have you ever heard of Machine 56. Or maybe Nathan Kawanishi. Where you kinda do a grunge but future tech style. Do you know about these styles?
So glad I came across your channel. Your insight has been clutch with the direction I'm going in and wanted to say salute!. Also you mentioned the tech-wear community. What are some good sources or places to become more engaged and grow with this community. I would love to be a resource as well as gain insight myself. Keep up the great work! My new fav channel.
check out Riot Division too. $400 for a full-on modular jacket and the pants are cheaper too and modular.
Aristo + tech my fav
Man this speaks to me. It kinda allows more crossover as an aspiring gearwhore and building a personal fashion style.
Stone island shadow project is a good one too
I do highly recommend Northface windbreakers simply because alot of them have really good functionality and I have a few and use them with my techwear as well. Personally I think Northface is cheaper especially for those trying to get into techwear. So definitely look into that if interested.
Another banger video keep it up y'all
Always keeping it casual
Damn. Wish I saw this video while I was in Japan last month. SUBSCRIBED!!
Thanks for the video very informative. Who does that poncho at the 4:05 mark? It looks killer.
I love the intro editing, the way you speak and the style and brands shown. Nice job! I love the outer piece you're wearing, what is it exactly?
So cargo pants and hoodies are coming back from the 90s about time! The girly fashion for men from 2010-2015 was getting into my nerves
man this is seriously now my favorite channel. all i see are the same shit in other channel with all the hypebeast
the editing on the intro is sick
Considerably you should check Under Armour for good quality Techwear too, i bought a full set of windbreaker, water-resistant pants and a simple pair of Nike Huarache and they look lit AF, if they came with an Air Force 270 which has some tech-wear element in it (search on google for more pictures),they would look better. Although ACG, Y-3, The North Face look great, but they are hella expensive.
ok im about it and been kind of applying this to my style w/o even really knowing what it was :o
Kayden Reece same here all blacked out and joggers and high top runners you can kinda pull this off i been doin it and not even knowing it
you're better off just doing what you're doing. no sense in spending a thousand dollars apiece so you can act like you don't care lol
Start with a solid pair of cargos, preferably Nike or aesthetic homage. Then you want those baggy Northfaces...... don't be afraid to check Goodwill 😉
The prices breaks my heart
Def should checkout Adidas NMD brand apparel. It's more on the athletic techwear side but they do have some great stuff!
Anymore brand recommendations for futuristic japanese techwear
I need all the pockets I can get for all the items that I bring along.
once zombies hit like this virus it will be very helpfull it seems. Comment didnt age well
What jacket are you wearing, it’s dope
I paused a few minutes into the video. Gotta' say your content is brilliant!
I'm going to need to know where you got that kimono from cause its FIRE
Love the content man. You have a new subscriber :).
Part 2, please!
TH-cam needs to promote channels like this more!
You showed one quick pic of a demobaza fit but didn't mention the brand
Sooo... Im knew in this style...
Im gonna buy a bullet prof vest😂😂
I like apocalyptic look with layered synthetic fibers. I love to have a thin grunge greyman t-shirt, then a second t-shirt over top (allows easily accomplished visual modification). Then a streamlined hoodie (grey or black synthetic fiber). I live in Canada and the temperatures are below zero often and this requires a second hoodie (mine is an army green with a soft texture synergic fiber). I then wear a thin black ribbed down coat during the day in winter with a second coat synthetic resistant material in a silver gun metal grey that has high bulk and pull string waist and additional hood for increased weather resistance. I carry a slim EDC bag with multiple pockets carrying my daily commuting urban needs (toiletries, coffee canister, medical kit and a few of secondary importance charging cables and electronic equipment). I then have a second messenger bag with winter hat, extra socks, handknit geometric scarf in two gray tones, secondary thin high quality wool scarf handmade and a thermal synthetic fiber blanket. Most of these pieces are limited edition brands and are all high quality construction with no obvious logos. This setup allows alot of flexibility in changing ones appearance and I can sleep outdoors in below zero temperatures with ease and relative comfort. I also due to the winter rain conditions in BC have a black and ochre weather resistant outer shell to utilize and it completely hides the multiple layers and subtle fashion of the ensemble. It is awesome I just threw in a baseball flexfit cap with local level logo and it fucking rocks the look (even though in Britain and parts of Europe a baseball cap is unheard of cause they are being wankers about the whole tea party with the madhatter thang). On my feet I have broken in work boots that need some dark dubbing with a great quality leather and light weight (for boots). My main scarf worn is a thin cotton blue tartan plaid which can mask my face easily. My pants are a nice beautiful distressed jeans with leather belt. I did incorporate alot of black into my previous setup but now I am throwing a bit more colour in and handmade accented pieces including my new vintage leather dark chocolate jacket for spring and summer. I always carry on my immediate person external battery, thin leather wallet, extra cell battery, headphones, samsung A5 remastered cellphone, survival knife, rolling papers and herb kit in a drum bag, paracord black wrist wraps and a swiss army knife acting as a key chain with a USB key
BTW when I see me in my light setup not fully layered in the mirror I want to fuck me is that legal or would it be incest porn if I fuck myself lol
Would it be wrong if I cloned myself and modified the clone to be female and fucked her would that be a legal issue lol. Cause I love me and would have such a blast fucking my female self
Gave it a like just cuz of the effort in the intro
This Is Antwon is a betzer option if you wanna know more about Tecgwear imo

Greatly informative video, Reg! What do you think about Mission Workshop? Does it fall to future-ninja thingy or athletic?
