Our third bespoke item is finally complete.
A new color has joined the Circles × NEW ERA cap lineup!
For the first release, we created red and green versions—the quintessential "Circles" colors—to commemorate the opening of Circles Tokyo.
Baseball was quite the phenomenon last year, wasn't it?
So for our second release, we launched a navy blue colorway inspired by overseas Major League teams.
And this time, we have produced a blue model in respect to the Nagoya baseball team. It’s a color chosen not to chase trends or fads, but out of a deep affection for this city, where our shop continues to stand every single day.
It makes for such a refreshing colorway.
The specifications remain the same as last time, with no major changes at all!
Ishikawa-san is always hardworking, but it’s rare to see him this excited...By wearing this cap, you might just find yourself remembering the "youth" you felt back in the day, making you want to step back into the batter’s box or up to the pitcher’s mound.
It’s a cap designed with the hope that just putting it on will make your heart look a little more forward.
When joining our baseball-themed ride events, please be sure to wear this cap and let your mind wander back to your childhood memories.
And what's more,
We are simultaneously releasing a mini-sized KEYHOLDER made from the same material as the NEW ERA caps!
Perfect for organizing your keys or attaching to your bag. It’s a minimalist, yet practical item that carries just the right amount of presence.
The last batch sold out immediately, so get yours early!
Both items are already in stock at the shop, but we also offer mail order from the store, so please send a DM to CirclesTokyo if you are interested!
And it’s not just the new NEW ERA cap release.
We want our classic RAL products to be more than just apparel; we want them to naturally blend into our cycling lives and daily routines, always being there for you.
Last year at the Tokyo shop, we were able to hold various events like camp rides, rides using public transport (rinko) to warp to our destination, and catchball rides… Drawing on these diverse encounters and riding experiences, we’ve dug deep into what we truly need. As owners of that tool we call a bicycle, we found ourselves branching out into all sorts of different activities.
The <RAL Jeans>, featuring domestic stretch fabric that excels even in outdoor activities.
The newly updated <RAL Cap 2025>.
The <RAL Cycling Wool Jersey>, which combines a classic aesthetic with modern functionality.
Beyond that, last year RAL also released a variety of items, from knit beanies and fleece caps to reversible vests and even the <RAL Exposure> frame.
This year, one of the classic items proposed by RAL—the RAL wear line—will also appear with a fresh look.
People are telling us to wait, but we're getting restless and can't hold back, so please bear with us for just a little longer!
These items will be released this spring.
To ensure you enjoy a better fit and can wear them for a long time, we have made updates, focusing primarily on areas where the fabric tends to bunch up, based on a clear image of riding scenarios.
Also, while we previously only went up to size L, we have added XL to provide a slightly more relaxed and comfortable fit. We've also reviewed the overall balance!
I’d like to keep talking, but I'll leave it there for now. (haha)
We are already looking forward to showing you all soon.
"RAL" continues to believe in humor while shaping it into products.
We never stop evolving, and we have plenty in motion for this year as well.
Please stay tuned.
