“HARQ” is a new edit by Daichi Sekiguchi out of the night skating capital of the world. It found its way to the QS pitchdesk when Daichi happened to see Genesis Evans on the street in Tokyo last month, and insisted he record a video message via Genny’s phone to send to the QS company line with a pitch to host it. Certainly a first, but Genny’s approval goes a long way around here.
The video features the current generation out of Tokyo, and ties together a bunch of the crew that works and lurks at Supreme Tokyo under one moody, six-minute edit that feels like it could be out of any era.
Though nocturnal Tokyo footage truly looks unlike anything else, the city’s night skating culture is something born more out of function rather than fashion — a topic we covered upon returning from our last Tokyo trip in 2018 (way overdue for a return, tbh.) It is a city of high-busts, tight streets and dense crowds, where every clip has to be earned with the right amount of stealth, luck and persistence, not to mention sleep deprivation. The night-heist party aesthetics are merely a bonus ;)
