STATE x Japan Artisan Series. At the northernmost tip of Honshu, lies Aomori, home to the Misawa Air Base, where Japanese and and US soldiers serve together. It’s a fitting inspiration for this masculine style from the STATE x Japan Artisan Series, where Japanese and American craftspeople showcase their diverse and complementary skills. The acetate front, handcrafted in STATE’s Chicago factory is joined with beta-titanium temples manufactured in Japan.
