Supreme x GOODENOUGH Spring 2025 Collaboration
Supremeis launching a newSpring 2025collaboration withGOODENOUGH, the seminal Japanese clothing brand established in 1990 by streetwear godfatherHiroshi Fujiwara. GOODENOUGH, which laid the foundation for contemporary Japanese street fashion, was born from Fujiwara's cross-cultural immersion in early '80s London punk and New York hip-hop culture. Fujiwara founded GOODENOUGH, blending diverse influences like punk, hip-hop, BMX, skateboarding, and luxury fashion with a refined sensibility. The brand became known for high-quality, utilitarian garments with intelligent graphics, limited quantities, and luxury pricing – a blueprint for the modern streetwear market. This approach profoundly impacted emerging designers likeJun Takahashi(UNDERCOVER) andNigo(A Bathing Ape), who Fujiwara mentored. Despite its influence, Fujiwara ceased GOODENOUGH operations in the late '90s to focus on smaller design projects. The new Supreme x GOODENOUGH Spring 2025 collection features a comprehensive range of apparel and accessories, including an MA-1 Jacket, Patchwork Jacket, Sweater, Patchwork Shirt, Crushed Rayon Shirt, Thermal, S/S Top, Hooded Sweatshirt, Patchwork Pant, Military Pant, Short, two T-Shirts, 6-Panel, Camp Cap, and Crusher. The pieces revive the GOODENOUGH branding, combining Fujiwara's design ethos with Supreme's staple skate-inspired silhouettes. A standout piece from the collection is aNike Air Force 1 Low, made exclusively for Supreme. This special edition features a full-grain leather upper, perforated leather toe panel, DURAPLUSH lining, co-branded footbed, embroidered and debossed logos, a ponyhair Swoosh and printed logos on translucent outsoles. The shoe will be available in a single colorway. Look out for the Supreme x GOODENOUGH collaboration to roll out via the brand'swebstoreand brick-and-mortar locations on June 5 and available in Asia on June 7.

Nikkei slips as stronger yen weighs, market lacks clear direction
TOKYO: Japan's Nikkei share average dropped on Tuesday, pressured by a stronger yen that dampened sentiment, while most investors refrained from active trading amid a lack of clear market-moving catalysts. The Nikkei was down 0.24% at 37,440.32 by the midday break. The broader Topix held its ground at 2,752.87. 'With the US markets closed on Monday, institutional investors stayed cautious and quiet. And it looked like only individual investors were trading small stocks,' said Naoki Fujiwara, senior fund manager at Shinkin Asset Management. 'But the market reacted to the yen's gain against the dollar during the session,' said Fujiwara. The yen strengthened against the dollar following comments from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda, which signalled the central bank's willingness to raise interest rates. Governor Ueda said that the BOJ must remain vigilant to the risk that rising food prices could drive underlying inflation higher, noting that it is already close to the central bank's 2% target. A stronger yen generally pressures exporter shares, as it diminishes the value of overseas earnings when converted back into Japanese currency. Among individual stocks, chip-making equipment maker Tokyo Electron fell 1.69% to drag the Nikkei the most. Uniqlo-brand owner Fast Retailing lost 0.78% and toy maker Konami Group slipped 1%. Japan's Nikkei rises for a second day as trade fears ease, Nippon Steel jumps Shares of staffing agency Recruit Holdings rose 1.37%, while game maker Nintendo also advanced, gaining 0.84%. Drugstore operator Tsuruha Holdings climbed 1.51% after shareholders approved its merger with Welcia Holdings , despite opposition from U.K.-based fund Orbis Investment. On the Tokyo Stock Exchange's prime market, 58% of the over 1,600 listed stocks advanced, 36% declined, and 5% remained unchanged.

Global Healthy Living Foundation and GoodTe. Inc. Rank Japanese vs. English Speaking Respondents In A Small Global Inflammatory Bowel Disease Study
Japanese-Language Patients Are Diagnosed Nearly Twice As Often Within One Year and Trust Physicians Twice As Often As English-Language Respondents NYACK, N.Y., May 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A small dual-language Japanese and English survey of 203 patients from 13 countries showed 56 percent of Japanese respondents with IBD were diagnosed within a year of symptom onset vs. 33 percent of those answering in English. The study was jointly conducted by an online IBD patient community, G-Community, a part of GoodTe. Inc., Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, and the Global Healthy Living Foundation (GHLF) using self-selected participants from online communities and social media. It was designed to informally compare Japanese language respondents to those answering in English. "Despite its small size and informal nature, this survey is noteworthy because of the disparity in some responses that positively highlight the Japanese IBD experience, including a comparatively short time to diagnosis," Aya Fujiwara, Japan Lead at the Global Living Foundation says. Conversely, the debilitating effects of inflammatory bowel disease at work and in school were equally present in patients from in both surveyed languages. Fifty-Eight percent of Japanese language respondents and 63 percent of English language respondents reported interference with school while 90 percent of those answering in Japanese and 87 percent in English indicated significant work impact. "This speaks to the uniform global disease burden of IBD, even after diagnosis," Ms. Fujiwara, added. In addition, although many Japanese-language respondents were diagnosed within one year, about 21 percent still experienced a delay of over five years—similar to the 25 percent of English-language respondents who faced the same delay. "We can only assume, from some of the free-form responses that the delayed diagnosis came from those without access to specialists, a difficulty recognizing symptoms, or people without a medical home," Ms. Fujiwara said. "We need to refine these rough findings with additional research." Japanese respondents showed strong trust in their healthcare providers, with 48 percent of Japanese-language respondents expressing trust—more than twice the rate of English-language respondents (21%).
