Spearheaded by Japanese avant-garde monarch—Issey Miyake, Hai Sporting Gear is an Americana inspired sporting label founded in the late 1970’s. A forgotten brand hidden deep within the cracks of the Miyake Design Studio umbrella, Hai Sporting Gear harmonized Miyake’s intricate touch for design and fascination with the Western world. Strategically implementing tonal palettes and varsity-esque graphics, Issey Miyake was pioneering a modern vintage aesthetic. However, since production was halted in the 90’s, the ominous label has been wiped from the archives, with little to no information available whatsoever. This strange endeavour set forth by the infamous Hiroshima designer has left the world guessing, with only garments to cherish and a legacy to sustain.
