This week, The Dropcast coming at you from Tokyo, Japan, talking about the launch of our latest platform: highsnobiety.jp. Joining hosts Jeff Carvalho and Jian DeLeon is Highsnobiety founder David Fischer. We talk about Japan's lifelong influence on the publication, and how much money we plan to spend on gear while we're here. We also talked with NOAH founder Brendon Babenzien about Tokyo leading the charge in flex-worthy purchases per capita, and some insight on our collaborative tee with the brand.

Speaking of which, we also announce the winners of last week's trivia contest, and giving out a few tees from our recent Highsnobiety Japan T-shirt capsule collection, which features designers like Noah, N. Hoolywood, A Bathing Ape, ACRONYM, Pleasures, Richardson, and Civilist. Herr Fischer also tells you where to cop our upcoming Wave Rider Phoenix sneaker collaboration with Mizuno RB Line, and shares his very informed opinion on some of the latest drops and news, from Chris Stamp's IKEA collaboration to the black YEEZY 500. They also take a look at Guess Jeans U.S.A & Sean Wotherspoon's "Farmer Market" collection.

As always, we welcome your comments, feedback, and perspectives on the Dropcast Hotline. So give us a ring at 833-HIGHSNOB. That's 833-444-4766. Call us now!
