Graphic artist NESM—known for his work in New York during the '90s as part of the Fame City crew, a member of the design studio Project Dragon, and now based in Japan—was introduced to us through our friend Stash. That connection sparked a collaboration rooted in a shared creative vision.
Albino & Preto has partnered with NESM to launch a special collection that blends visual art with martial arts. NESM draws from historical influences while weaving in clean, modern design elements, resulting in a capsule that feels both grounded and fresh.
The collection includes a range of co-branded pieces: a bold handkerchief, striking graphic tees, and soft, wearable hoodies. For those training, there are two beautifully designed gis featuring detailed A&P x NESM artwork and signature iconography that reflect the DNA of both brands. Rounding it out is a complete NoGi training set made for performance, along with a KLEAN KANTEEN aluminum bottle featuring the collection's signature "chainlink" graphic.
This release highlights NESM's distinct visual style alongside A&P's bold identity—offering pieces that are as expressive as they are functional, whether you're on the mat or out in the world.
