    As a mainly menswear-focused line derived from URBAN RESEARCH, it puts forward the concept “IDENTITY & IDEA” and offers products that strengthen connections with Tokyo’s ever-changing street scene, culture, and trends. While the parent brand focuses on urban basics, this line is characterized by original clothing incorporating humorous ideas and collaborations with brands, individuals, and cultural scenes in Japan and abroad. Whereas ROSSO MEN is responsible for refined, practical menswear, iD takes on the role of foregrounding street sensibilities, unisex expression, and a youthful perspective.
