wave of sand

Founded in 2021 in New York, Wave of Sand is a utility-focused label that reimagines traditional Japanese martial arts uniforms for modern everyday wear. Designer Kozaburo Akasaka, drawing on his childhood practice of karate, infuses the brand with the concept of "Enryu"—the harmony and coexistence of individuals. This philosophy translates into gender-fluid garments that blend contemporary American youth culture, specifically Bushwick’s rave and workwear scenes, with a distinct Zen touch. The collections feature versatile staples such as wide-legged cargo pants, judo-inspired sweatpants, and sand-patterned graphic tees.
