I first played The World Ends With You back in 2008 and it instantly became my favorite video game. I loved everything about it - the gameplay, the setting of Shibuya, the graffiti art style, the music and of course the anti-social protag Neku Sakuraba. As I got more into making cosplay over the years, Neku's always been on my list but I never wanted to make it unless I thought I could tackle his shoes properly.
Two years ago I made my second hoodie and designed it based on Neku Sakuraba from the DS Game The World Ends with You. I wore it often, but was never fully happy with it. Since the fit was a little too big, I wanted to give it another try.
This has been one of my favorite projects as it mixes cosplay and street fashion into something that's wearable everyday.
