There is a very stylish nice guy who frequently appears on Dice&Dice's HP and Instagram, effortlessly pulling off any outfit. You might think he is a professional model, but he is actually staff. With exceptional agility and politeness, he jumps on his pist bike when the time comes and disappears like the wind. He is headed to Bayside Place, hurrying to practice with SAMURAIBALLERS. A staff member of a select shop and a freestyle basketball player, "Wearing two hats." Here, we present a collection of various basketball-related goods and books that REN has gathered so far. Enjoy the Wunderkammer, packed with American street culture.
