Walter is a New York native whose perspective informs the foundation of Wagyu.jp, a brand shaped by proximity, observation, and lived experience across Harlem, the Upper West Side, and the Bronx.

Through Wagyu.jp, familiar uniforms are treated as material to be reworked with care and intention. The Nike Tech Fleece customization project reframed a decade defining New York staple into something personal and considered, shifting focus toward access, craft, and meaning. From neighborhood-led activations to its presence at ComplexCon, Wagyu.jp operates through cultural memory.

Worn naturally by figures such as Central Cee, Shai Gilgeous Alexander, Jules Koundé, Chet Holmgren, and Caris LeVert, the brand has become one of the clearest forces shaping New York’s current streetwear moment.
