This is my first post from Japan - so bear with me.
We are super stoked about getting our Index Ink decks and apparel in, and more importantly, getting it out to our customers! We should be getting our shipment sometime early next week -- can't wait!!
In the meantime, I've been keeping tabs on the Japanese skate market and fashion trends, so, today I headed down the fashion capital of Tokyo - Harajuku. There I met up with one of our long standing customers, Fujiwara-san from Murasaki Sports, which happens to be on the infamous "Takeshita Dori" or "Takeshita" street.
As usual the cats at Murasaki Sports were super busy, but Fujiwara-san indulged me, and we sat and talked about everything from skate to business, and then some. Overall, it was a productive day! Needless to say, they're pretty stoked about getting the Index Ink goods - the first thing he asked me, "Where are my decks!?" hahaha!!
Anyway, here are some of the snap shots I took - Enjoy!!
*The last pic is of the『ギャル』or "Gyaru" style for girls, which is popular in Harajuku.
Thanks,
Kel
