From the Pitch to the Streets
Wacko Maria was established in 2005. The label emerged from the creative energy of Atsuhiko Mori and Keiji Ishizuka in Tokyo. These two former J-League football players made a decision to trade stadiums for style.
What once began as the Rock Steady bar eventually evolved into a high-end streetwear brand that redefined Japanese fashion. Their brand origin is a transition from sport to design. It captures the birth of an aesthetic rooted in cultural rebellion and artistic collaboration.
Two decades later, Wacko Maria remains one of the most respected names in the fashion industry. It is celebrated for turning underground culture into a global influence.
