Last month Adidas Originals brought us to Tokyo for a quick shoot and we were lucky enough to have 4 days off there before flying to NY for part two of the shoot. We had never been but of course have heard about how great it is a million times. It’s even better than that. Go. Following are way too many photos of the trip, but its hard to edit down a story sometimes so I hope you enjoy the photos half as much as we enjoyed the trip. Thanks Adidas!

Best bar.

Old friend Angelo has been working in Shanghai and popped over to Tokyo with his brother to bring us to the raddest bar ever.
