Undercover Early Chaos Tee 1994

Undercover, founded by Jun Takahashi in 1990 while still a student at Bunka Fashion College, was one of the original Ura-Harajuku brands alongside GOODENOUGH and A Bathing Ape. The early Undercover tees from 1994-98 — featuring Takahashi's raw, DIY aesthetic influenced by punk and new wave — are currently available for $80–$200. As Undercover has grown into a globally recognized brand with runway shows in Paris, the early Tokyo-market pieces are being reappraised. Upside potential: $500–$2,000.
