While the release of the Sacai x CLOT x Nike LDWaffle triple collab is eagerly awaited (article available HERE), the Hong Kong-based streetwear brand continues to treat us with a new collaborative project. Edison Chen and Kevin Poon’s label continues its long-standing relationship with Japanese brand MEDICOM TOY by expanding its BE@RBRICK FRUITS series.
CLOT and MEDICOM TOY have been partners since 2004. One of their biggest successes was the 2007 BE@RBRICK « Watermelon and Strawberry » collection based on CLOT co-founder Edison Chen’s favorite fruits. This collab was so popular, that the 2 partners turned it into a series and expanded it with the « Exotic Fruits » collection in 2010, also in partnership with Levi’s brand.
Today, 17 years after the release of the Be@rbricks « Watermelon » and « Strawberry », CLOT and MEDICOM TOY come back with two reinterpreted versions « Yellow Watermelon » and « Snow Strawberry » composing the collection « Summer Fruits ». The first figure has its face colored in yellow instead of the original red, and the second one has a pinkish-white gradient on the whole body. These pieces pay tribute to some of Japan’s most sought-after fruits. They will be available in a 1000% size for 620$, as well as in a 400% and 100% set for 170$.
The CLOT x MEDICOM TOY BE@RBRICK « Summer Fruits » collection will be released in a very limited edition via an open raffle starting August 21, 2021 at an exclusive pop-up in Hong Kong, JUICE Chengdu IFS and JUICE Shanghai. It will launch in mid-September 2021 at JUICE Los Angeles and Taipei. Visit juicestore.com to follow the arrival of the collection.
