Some nightmares linger long after you wake up. This one? You can wear.
When Broken Promises teamed up with Junji Ito, the undisputed master of horror manga, the result was something straight out of a fever dream—a streetwear collection drenched in psychological terror. This wasn’t just another anime collab; it was a full-scale reanimation of Junji Ito’s world, ripped straight from the pages of Uzumaki and The Curse and thrown into the gritty aesthetic of BP.
A First-of-Its-Kind Drop
Before brands flooded the scene with manga-inspired streetwear, Broken Promises set the blueprint. The Junji Ito collection wasn’t just big—it was massive. Zumiez saw huge numbers, proving that the demand for horror-infused fashion was bigger than anyone expected. The collection blurred the line between wearable art and nightmare fuel, bringing Ito’s signature unsettling imagery to life in a way that hadn’t been done before.
Then, the industry followed. After BP’s Junji Ito collab, the floodgates opened. Suddenly, brands were racing to capitalize on the horror-manga aesthetic that BP had already perfected.
The Horror Lives On
Junji Ito’s influence never fades, and neither does the impact of this drop. A recent Netflix special introduced Ito’s nightmarish worlds to a whole new audience, breathing even more life into the stories that inspired the collab. But those who got their hands on the BP x Junji Ito pieces? They had the vision before the rest of the world caught up.
Would you want another run of these horror-fueled fits? Or is it better left as an eerie, once-in-a-lifetime drop? Tell us what nightmares you’d want to see come to life next.
