atmos is proud to unveil a new capsule collection featuring "TENKYU," an original character designed by the visionary artist COIN PARKING DELIVERY. Building on a partnership that began with his appearance as the face of the atmos Spring/Summer 2024 season, this collaboration marks the artist's transition from model to creator. The eight-piece lineup showcases his signature aesthetic across a versatile range of collectibles and apparel, including graphic T-shirts, pin badges, keychains, plush toys, and soft vinyl dolls.

The newly created character, "TENKYU," takes its name from the Japanese word tenkyuu, meaning "yearning for the heavens." TENKYU is an alien who originally descended to Earth on a conquest mission, only to have his plans derailed when he encountered sneakers at an atmos store.

His design tells his story: his heart-shaped right eye represents his deep affection for footwear, while the sparkle in his left eye captures the pure excitement of a new find. Now a resident of Earth, TENKYU works hard to fund his passion; however, despite his low wages, he spends nearly everything on his favorite pairs, leaving his savings account empty.

With a background story that echoes the playful, creative culture of Harajuku—the birthplace of atmos—TENKYU’s debut features a lineup that celebrates the heart of street culture. Check out the short film below to see the world of TENKYU in action.
