HENSHIN by KAMEN RIDER" is also known by the catchphrase "Transformation! is the catchphrase for this fashion brand based on the works of Kamen Rider. The main characters are destined to fight due to circumstances and external factors. The inner transformation of the characters as they experience anxiety, conflict, and frustration, and as they gradually resolve to fight on their own terms, is seen as the "timeless value" of Masked Rider works. The theme is "clothing that allows you to gradually update your inner self as you wear it day by day". HENSHIN by KAMEN RIDER" is a brand that has been in the spotlight for many years.

The first "HENSHIN by KAMEN RIDER" collection will feature three titles in total: "MASKED RIDER QUGA," "MASKED RIDER FIZZ," and "MASKED RIDER W." The sneakers designed for each rider will be available in the "HENSHIN by KAMEN RIDER" lineup.
In addition to sneakers with each rider's design, the lineup includes T-shirts, parkas, jackets, caps, socks, belts, and more. The lineup will be expanded to include 20 Heisei Masked Riders in the future, so be sure to check it out.


Product Information


■"Sneakers"
Although Masked Rider is well-known for his "Rider Kick," it is not widely known that a design for the sole exists in the official setting.
HENSHIN by KAMEN RIDER" commercializes sneakers with the outsole designed after its characteristic footprint.

<Type KUUGA>

The characteristics of the armor and inner suit are expressed in the neoprene footwear and glass leather. The story of the "Ruins" and "Adventurers" is also focused on, and materials such as coarse-grained nylon and nubuck are used to create a trendy trekking-style sneaker.

<Type FAIZ

The gimmick of emerging from the dark is reproduced with the use of red reflectors from the piping that covers the entire sneaker to the tape sewn on the tongue. The mid-cut and high-tech sole combine to give the sneaker a strong gadget feel.

<Type W>

The curves of the body and the image of wind are expressed as if wrapping the foot. To express "two for one," the left and right sneakers are combined to form a pattern, creating a sense of playfulness.


Apparel

Apparel items designed under four different themes are simultaneously available.
Even the same masked rider is designed in completely different ways depending on the line.

<BASIC: A line of T-shirts and hoodies that is offered throughout the year.
<MARKING: A line that pays homage to the brand's symbol "H logo" and incorporates it into the characteristics of each rider.
<PHOTO: A line that expresses a world beyond space and time through a collage of photographs of locations reminiscent of Masked Rider.
<ELEMENTS> This line expresses the decomposition and combination of the elements that make up the Masked Rider, the transformation and release, and the process of determination, all accompanied by animation.

Collaboration
The first collaboration with "FUMITO GANRYU" and "ANREALAGE" is a commemorative one.


<FUMITIO GANRYU

Based on the keyword "transformation," this collaboration features the HENSHIN logo, "KUUGA" and "555" in a low-gauge knit-style graphic design reminiscent of a trompe l'oeil cowtin sweater. The design is also deformed from a fashion point of view, creating a modern and contemporary atmosphere.

<ANREALAGE

ANREALAGE's "AZ" logo mark and the "A to Z" ring-shaped "Gaia Memory," a key gadget in the "Masked Rider W" series that programs the earth's memory from A to Z, were used in the design of the symbol logo. The "A to Z" logo was adopted as the symbolic logo design. The graphic design, which expresses each "Gaia Memory" in a modern way, is activated through the AR filter of Instagram to activate the data world and implement "HENSHIN" in our daily lives.
