“12 years ago when we were just starting to sell Proudrace overseas,” the brand said in a statement on Instagram. “A few shops from Bangkok, Taipei, Japan, HK, Singapore, and South Korea carried this specific print in their small concept stores. For us, that was already a triumph to even be carried by shops outside of Manila. To our surprise, it ended up being worn by one of the biggest boy groups now.”

This is not the first time the brand has brought the piece back. In 2021, PROUDRACE also re-released the top to commemorate the milestone. Founded in 2012, the Manila-based label has built a reputation for its graphic-heavy designs, earning recognition from platforms like Vogue and Highsnobiety.
