If you’ve ever searched through Instagram using hashtags for brands such as ACRONYM, Nike ACG, or even Stone Island, then you might’ve come across some user accounts who’ve put together striking outfits that contain a touch of futuristic flair. You can even say their style resembles that of sci-fi video game characters — think cyber swat team members or even neo-punk ninjas. But whatever your definition of their look might be, one thing’s for sure: their adeptness for donning next level fits is truly awe-inspiring.

HYPEBEAST got a chance to talk to some of the members of this so-called “Techwear Subculture” and it turns out they’re a tight-knit group who attribute their interests to names like Errolson Hugh of ACRONYM, video game titles like Metal Gear, and even a few anime movies. In the end, however, they’re just eager to push their own creative vision of what this particular culture stands for — to be as imaginative as one can be with respect to the brands they love.

From an observer’s standpoint, especially those coming from a streetwear fan’s perspective, we’ve seen videos and lookbook imprints like ACRONYM and Stone Island have created. What the “Techwear Subculture” members offer, however, is something that goes beyond the industry’s way of visually defining the brand. They go a step above and add a more personal spin to each photo or look they release. Sometimes, they add a bit of the surreal into the mix to wow followers and garner more fans. But from talking to them, we soon understand that it’s less about the “follow” count on their social media handle, but more on how they can creatively execute an image with precision and patience.
