No sooner do you feel that spring has arrived than the summer weather is already here.
Since the start of 2024, it’s been a busy time for us, beginning with the opening of our Tokyo store, followed by OFF THE GRID and Mori, Michi, Ichiba 2024. It feels like it’s been a while, but we are holding a Circles POP UP in June!
Especially with the new Tokyo shop open, we’ve branded this the "Tomei Tour," and it will be held over two weeks across Tokyo and Nagoya.
[Dates]
Tokyo: June 7th (Fri) – June 9th (Sun)
Nagoya: June 14th (Fri) – June 16th (Sun)
Hours follow the respective store business hours.
Both events run from Friday to Sunday! It’s Circles at both ends of the Tomei line. Please make sure you have the right location when you come!
POP UP Vendors
The vendors this time are two brands that are by now true allies of Circles: MINIMALIGHT and RAWLOW MOUNTAIN WORKS (hereafter RLMW).
Since Circles isn't competitively oriented, we view cycling as an outdoor activity. We’ve crossed over into hiking, fishing, and even RC, and it is no exaggeration to say that these two brands provided the spark for that.
RLMW’s Ryotaro-san and MINIMALIGHT’s Hajichi-san are also cyclists who ride on a daily basis.
In particular, RLMW’s Ryotaro-san is a hardcore downhiller.
Supposedly, his first encounter with Circles representative Tanashin was bumping into him on an MTB trail (really...?).
Anyway, hiking gear often works great for cycling, and the people who truly understand those sweet spots are coming to Circles.
Highlights of this POP UP!
MINIMALIGHT
In addition to selling their standard PLAY WALLET and the newly updated ORDINARY PAC, we will be accepting pre-orders for their latest release, the ORDINARY PANTS—which debuted at OFF THE GRID—at both the Tokyo and Nagoya locations!
RAWLOW MOUNTAIN WORKS
They will be selling the Hillary Wallet at the store, which was also revealed at OFF THE GRID.
Also, I can’t really say much—or rather, I’ve been told I shouldn’t—but it seems they’ve specially prepared some items that have been out of stock for a long time, so look forward to that! (And don't tell anyone else!)
Who knows, maybe Ryotaro-san will even give you some advice on your bike?
We’d love for you to meet them in person at the store.
Grab a friend and please come visit us at Circles in Tokyo and Nagoya!
