+ japan’s kinfolk is a rare bicycle company that creates handmade products whose aesthetic is classic yet modern and most importantly timeless. The minds of the creators, akira, john, maceo, ryan and, salah, all loved bikes so much their goal was never to be the biggest bike company or to get rich, or anything like that. They only wanted these special bikes and figured maybe the public would to. for nike stadium tokyo’s recent “tied together” exhibition, kinfolk has worked with frantic studio to create a small documentary which tells the story of the journey of a kinfolk bicycle, all the way from kusaka’s workshop in akashi, japan, to chari & co. on the lower east side in n.y.c.
