GR10K X softs GAITER SMOCK LIMITED EDITION
"欠落と適応”

This product, designed by softs and engineered by GR10K, was conceived to address the need to adapt to Japan's increasingly subtropical environment, where tropical nights can reach 31°C (88°F) and sudden rainstorms can bring up to 100mm of rainfall in an hour. Key features include water-resistant material throughout, with short sleeves that can be opened using side zippers running from the hem to under the armpit, allowing for both protection from rain and enhanced ventilation when needed.

Softs is a clothing store located on the 4th-floor rooftop of the Yayoi Building in Kichijoji, Tokyo. Dedicated to exploring and innovating with fashion items that haven’t yet hit the mainstream radar, the store aims to make a significant impact on future trends. Their creative process is akin to finding joy in an obscure video game by discovering your own unique way to play—such as unearthing and enjoying unexpected glitches. Like game software, fashion has infinite possibilities.

The softs logo is inspired by talismans distributed at Japanese shrines and temples, believed to hold powers of prayer, wishes, and protection. These talismans are said to shield individuals by preventing negative energies from affecting them.
