The butterfly embroidery on Needles track pants became one of the most referenced design details in contemporary fashion. Dense, colorful, applied with Japanese production precision — the technique elevated a basic sportswear silhouette into something immediately specific. The track pants that followed have been copied more than almost any other piece in the streetwear adjacency. Needles is the Nepenthes brand that takes Japanese obsession with American workwear and sportswear seriously. The rebuild knitwear — vintage sweaters deconstructed and rebuilt with new panels and embroidery — runs on the same logic. Basketball shorts and a mockneck longsleeve available. The track pants rotate through when available.
