Brand Values

• •Passion for JDM Culture
• •Community
• •Originality & Design
• •Quality
• •Nostalgia & Iconic Status
• •Self-Expression

Best Practices

• •Speak 'Enthusiast': Use language, references, and slang common within the JDM community authentically. Avoid being overly technical unless explaining a specific design detail, but show you understand the culture.
• •Prioritize Passion & Community: Frame product announcements and descriptions around the shared love for JDM cars. Encourage interaction, user-generated content, and make customers feel like part of an exclusive club.
• •Highlight Unique Designs & Quality: Continuously reinforce that designs are original and products are made to last. This justifies their value beyond just being a piece of clothing.
• •Be Visually Cohesive: Ensure the tone of the copy matches the visual branding. If the visuals are sleek and cool, the copy should reflect that, not be overly goofy or overly formal. Maintain consistency across all platforms.
• •Stay True to the 'By Enthusiasts, For Enthusiasts' Ethos: Let the founders' passion shine through. Share stories, engage in JDM discussions (not just sales pitches), and show that the brand is an active, knowledgeable part of the culture it serves.
