Last month, we opened the store with part one of our two part Frontrunner 19/20 release. The idea was to shortly follow it with the new outerwear for this Winter, but due to some logistical issue we had to postpone it to the first week of January. Fortunately everything came together and we were able to open the store as scheduled today.
I’ve never disclosed the shop list of 80R before launch as I do my best to limit the amount of information provided that should be reserved solely for those anticipating the launch.
I’m very excited for the official launch of 80R Volume 2. This has been another year-long project for us that has resulted in what I’d like to consider the evolution of 80R.
Over the past few months we have been working with Stand 21, the prestigious motor sports racewear company headquartered in Eastern France, in developing a signature race glove for Dogfight.
A few months ago we introduced the idea of producing a line of carbon goods under NDF Japan Bodyworks that would help expand our current carbon line of goods.
The past 2019 season of Attack marked Kunihiko Bando’s achievement of his long sought 53 second lap around TC2000 (53.680). This, in and of itself is a remarkable achievement, however it also comes along with the promise of more.
The heart of Japanese time attack lies with those at the top of the time sheets; the shop owners and drivers that have devoted their lives to the sport. From our beginnings, we’ve worked together with these individuals to give them a stage to showcase their work. The Frontrunners tee pays tribute to the builders that are pushing this motor sport to levels we’ve never seen. Each year our list has grown, and 2018 is no different.
In an attempt to expand the communication in regards to storefront opening dates and times, I’ve committed to announcing on the site each time the store is restocked and I plan to re-open it. I get plenty of emails from people who missed out, or request to be notified each time I open the store; as you know that would be impossibly tedious to individually email hundreds of people. Instead, the easier solution, is to subscribe to the site via the ‘follow’ button located on all pages, and when I post opening dates you will receive notifications straight to your inbox!
Excited to announce the release of the next reiteration of our Frontrunners T-Shirt, celebrating a handful of the fastest Time Attack shops in Japan. We’ve developed close relationships with each of these companies and paired together to create a really cool piece of apparel that everyone can enjoy.
I’ve been getting a few messages over the past couple days in regards to the site running slow, or not being able to access it at all. Took the better half of my Sunday morning, but I figured out today there was an issue with the DNS settings that needed to be reset – no idea how they got changed in the first place.
I’m excited to announce the release of NDF’s first outerwear garment. I spent a long time looking into what would be a more unique offering than just a regular cotton, hooded sweatshirt. I wanted something practical, something with a styled, motorsport feel, and ultimately something that would keep you warm (especially those cold winter mornings in Japan)! So it is with great satisfaction that I present to you the Dogfight Poly-Tech Sweatshirt.
As usual it’s been quite awhile since the store was opened, but I have some time this coming week to process orders so I opened it up. A couple new items in there, and some more on the way! Thanks for the support everyone.
Sorry about the down time last night that led into this morning; the result of such down time, however, is the new layout of the site. If I were being completely honest, I’ve never been 100% satisfied with the look of the site (or anything in my life for that matter). As a result, the site has changed it’s look over the past years multiple times.
When I had initially announced that I’d be making shirts for the site, I was met with a lot of ‘Finally!’s from friends and fans. Needless to say, in the scheme of things, […]
