Artist Profile: Yu Nagaba (born 1976 in Tokyo). Moved to Turkey in childhood, where he learned oil painting. After graduating from art university in Tokyo, he worked on T-shirt graphics for an apparel company before becoming a freelance artist. In 2014, he shifted to his current style of black and white line art, influenced by 90s American culture, movies, art, and music. His work gained widespread recognition after being featured on the cover of POPEYE magazine. He has since collaborated with numerous domestic and international brands and held solo exhibitions in Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and participated in the WEST BUND art fair in China.

New products include the fashionable thick-soled "Plus Line." Since its inception in 2011, OOFOS® has been supported by its special OOfoam™ material for shock absorption and recovery. The new "Plus Line" maintains this functionality while adopting a voluminous silhouette in line with current trends, elevating recovery footwear into modern street wear. In addition to classic Black, colors like clean Chalk and refreshing Mint are available. A new color (Primrose) is also introduced for the stylish thick-soled "OOyea" model, offering a diverse lineup for the next generation of recovery experience.
