Needles Apparel

Founded by Keizo Shimizu in 1988 as part of the Nepenthes family, Needles saw a cultural resurgence in the late 2010s when A$AP Rocky embraced its iconic track pants. Characterized by a recurring butterfly motif, experimental silhouettes and a creative clash of unexpected materials, the label brings Japanese craftsmanship to classic Americana. This signature aesthetic is reflected today across an apparel range of tops, bottoms, outerwear and more.
