THE FOUND. × URBAN RESEARCH Special Items Released!

We are pleased to announce a special T-shirt collaboration between URBAN RESEARCH and THE FOUND., a brand led by Shusaku Takaoka—an artist who has garnered global support, particularly on social media, for reconstructing classic paintings and pop culture through a contemporary lens. The collection will be available starting April 3, 2026 (Friday), with an advance release at URBAN RESEARCH KYOTO, followed by a launch at all URBAN RESEARCH stores.

Shusaku Takaoka’s work has attracted significant attention from the street fashion scene both in Japan and abroad. He is known for his surreal and playful collages that fuse classic paintings and anime characters with modern landscapes and fashion. Based on these works, "THE FOUND." is a brand that stands between the past and the present, and between art and daily life, continuing the act of "finding" through clothing.

This marks the second collaboration with Mr. Takaoka, who previously created the main visual for the lifestyle event "YES GOOD MARKET 2024." For this collection, we have selected three designs from his new and popular works. These graphic T-shirts, featuring bold prints on the front, are special items available exclusively at URBAN RESEARCH.

Faded fabrics, old illustrations, fragments of memory—we translate these materials, reconstructed by Takaoka's hands, into clothing products. We tailor each piece to breathe within your daily life.
