What to know about SOPHNET.
Football cues, not football kit
Designer Hirofumi Kiyonaga also runs F.C.Real Bristol and uniform experiment, and their sport detailing carries into SOPHNET.'s shells, coach jackets and knit polos.
Technical fabric doing quiet work
Collections lean on nylon and wool blends for city wear that stays minimal — wide trousers, shirting, graphic tees — rather than logo-forward streetwear.
Mostly bought in Asia
Seasonal releases run through SOPH. stores in Tokyo, Sapporo and Taipei plus the brand's own online store, with capsules like Kvadrat textiles, Nike FC and Luminox.

| Category | Runs | Shape | Size advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shirts & overshirts | slightly small | regular to relaxed | Take your normal size for a modern fit, or size up for a roomier silhouette. |
| Trousers & pants | true to size | wide-cut, relaxed | Order your usual waist; the cut is intentionally wide through the leg rather than tight. |
| Jackets | slightly small | regular, some boxy shells | Size up if you want room for layering under technical shells and coach jackets. |
| T-shirts & graphic tees | slightly small | boxy, relaxed | Size up if you want a longer, less boxy drape or plan to layer. |
