AGAINST SPRING '26 - 'AKAR' D2 COLLECTION
This collection continues the story of AKAR. Delivery 1 was originally shot in Tokyo, Japan, while the current Delivery 2 was captured in Kuala Lumpur — bringing the narrative back to our own roots and community.
To represent the overall mood and energy of this delivery, we brought together individuals deeply connected to the culture. Featured in the campaign are Kuala lumflow twin rappers Dannqrack and Eemrun representing Midlyfe, alongside Broyawn and the Harsh Squad. We also featured Nestwo, whose graffiti work became the foundation for the graphics seen throughout Delivery 2.
The campaign further highlights the AGAINST team — Syaiem, Cornz, and Shawn — alongside Austin Yip, who appears in the video giving Shawn a haircut. Other featured personalities include Xiao Jian, a professional basketball player, Noah, a young figure closely tied to Malaysia’s streetwear scene, as well as Yong Shen and Chris, both heavily associated with AGAINST, showcasing skate and BMX culture throughout the campaign.
Every individual featured in the campaign video was intentionally selected to reflect what “roots” truly means within this collection. The purpose of Delivery 2 was to bring together people who genuinely represent the culture and community surrounding the brand — making the campaign an authentic extension of AKAR itself.
