Nowhere Hong Kong Announcement





The latest installment from Nigo (of Bape) and Jun Takahashi’s (of Undercover) collaborative ‘Nowhere’ stores is to open on September 26 in Hong Kong. The store will be stocked with merchandise from not only Bape and Undercover, but also collaborative works including the Last Orgy 2 series.

As with the previous collaboration, the popular Dakota Angler model was chosen once again. On the dial face is the famous X-Large logo in blue on black keeping the design simple. Also on the back of the watch is the engraving of both Dakota and X-Large to signify the project. As well as the watch, there are other useful survival tools integrated with the watch such as LED micro light, compass, file, and nipper.

Steel is the material of choice for Kalavinka frames but this aerodynamic piece of art is made specifically for track racing in mind. The high modulus carbon fiber frame is matched with Italian Campagnolo Record Hiddenset headset with eccentric bottom bracket shell for optimum adjustability. There is also a built in chain tensioner and it comes with a 27.2mm seat post. The standard color option is black with Kalavinka decals but custom colors can be made to order at additional costs.
