88 Type R Collaboration

Client: 88rising, Honda Motor Company

2023



Overview

In honor of their 75th Anniversary, Honda granted 88rising the iconic Type-R badge to fuel a collection of activations that celebrate the intersection of cars, music, and Asian culture



“Type-R is our permission to redline.”


For 88rising’s debut fashion collaboration with Honda, 88rising re-imagines the Type-R lifestyle inspired by the height of the Import Tuning era, Asian youth culture, nostalgic car meets and music. The 88R collection merges 88rising with Honda’s iconic Type R to create the dream 88R Racing Club aesthetic.

In honor of their 75th Anniversary, Honda granted 88rising the iconic Type-R badge to fuel a collection of activations that celebrate the intersection of cars, music, and Asian culture. 

88 Type-R is an ongoing partnership between 88rising & Honda that pushes the limit on creativity, producing high-octane creative executions across music, fashion, and experiences with a simple brief: how can we celebrate the culture while always pushing the limit on what’s next?

The first project in this partnership featured a SOLD OUT apparel collection that reimagines the Type-R lifestyle at the height of Asian import tuner culture, which debuted at 88rising’s Head in the Clouds Music Festival.
