The challenge

Three friends passionate about anime and Japanese street culture, we set out to build a streetwear brand that stood out for its quality. The name says it all: Summit, 山頂 in Japanese, the peak.

The approach

An identity rooted in Japanese culture (a kanji logo, manga panels, Japanese typography) and a drop system: a new theme and new designs every month, launched with professional photo shoots with models.

The outcome

Content that went viral, giveaways and a community that grew with every release. Each drop gave the next one more reach.

Social media content

Every drop, giveaway and promotion had its own pieces: posts, stories, video ads and highlight covers, always within the same identity.
