If you live in the UK, and are a fan of Japanese streetwear, chances are you've heard of a number of names*, the PR and distribution company founded by Craig Ford, that represents streetwear giants like A Bathing Ape, Billionaire Boys Club, Human Made, and C.E. (Cav Empt). If you're a fan of Japanese streetwear and discounts, you've almost definitely heard of the a number of names* sample sale. This legendary sale takes place at the end of each season, and offers sought after pieces from the brands at rock-bottom prices (up to 75% off is fighting talk). Ahead of the sample sale kicking of today, we thought we'd list the seven best items you can cop for way under retail.
