Boldly Designed with "Apple" and "Roman Numerals" Motifs
We want to create items that offer maximum comfort precisely because they are worn daily, allowing wearers to feel the joy of dressing and the pleasure of coordinating. By balancing ideas and techniques, we aim to create new value that deepens and enriches the relationship between people and clothing.
Designer Hitoshi Shimomura's philosophy is "to create clothes I want to wear myself." After working as a pattern maker and production manager, he became independent in August 2007. He held his first solo exhibition for the 08A/W season. His unique patterns and cutting techniques, along with his clever details, have impressed many fashion enthusiasts.

To commemorate the brand's 10th anniversary, the first collaboration with MEDICOM TOY, "BE@RBRICK SHAREEF 100% & 400%," was released in 2018. This BE@RBRICK, featuring the "apple" motif that SHAREEF has used since its inception embedded in its belly and "Roman numerals" designed from head to toe, received a huge response and sold out instantly. Subsequent releases with color variations followed in 2019 and 2022.
An interview with Mr. Shimomura conducted by OPENERS in 2018 can be foundhere. His words, "I feel that what an individual creates with conviction, saying 'This is it!', is design," convey the sentiment embedded in SHAREEF's clothing and the "BE@RBRICK SHAREEF 100% & 400%."
The piece arriving now is the 1000% version of the commemorative first release. This legendary item, featuring a jet-black body with white Roman numerals and an apple object within its transparent belly, is revived in an enlarged size. Its overwhelming presence makes it a fittingly luxurious collaboration to celebrate SHAREEF's 15th anniversary.
