adidas Originals × Keiichi Tanaami Cali Ringer T-Shirt DY6661, Black and White 3-Stripes, Size L

The adidas Originals × Keiichi Tanaami Cali T-shirt: a black ringer with white trims, the 3-Stripes across raglan shoulders, and a small Tanaami trefoil on the chest. Size L, cotton.

The Piece

Keiichi Tanaami (1936–2024) was a founding figure of Japanese pop art: a Tokyo graphic designer who brought psychedelic collage, animation and comic-book colour into fine art from the 1960s, and the first art director of the Japanese edition of Playboy. His imagery of goldfish, pine trees, searchlights and hybrid creatures grew from childhood memories of wartime Tokyo, and his late career brought major museum shows and a run of celebrated fashion collaborations.

The chest trefoil here is his: a golden many-armed figure rising from the three leaves, with a red face and pink legs beneath. The Cali cut is the classic adidas ringer, with white neck and sleeve bands and raglan 3-Stripes, so the design reads as understated until the artwork is seen up close.

Chest 48 cm (18.9 in); length 69 cm (27.2 in); neck-to-cuff 46 cm (18.1 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, with the piece laid flat and the tape read by eye, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1–3 cm (0.5–1 in) for the natural give of fabric, handwork and the human hand.
