Bugeisha Club + Claryn Chong in London for Air Max Dn8

ART DIRECTION

Five agents are recruited from different corners of London for a single mission. Moving through the city’s diverse landscapes, they converge at Bugeisha Club HQ, where they unite as a modern warrior collective in an action-packed training sequence.

Each fighter’s individuality is reflected in their own Dn8 colourway. As they move through the shifting cityscapes of London, they become a reflection of the city itself - diverse, dynamic, and unstoppable.

BUGEISHA CLUB

Bugeisha Club, founded by Mana Kimura-Anderson a.k.a The Nunchuck Princess, embodies strength, resilience, and creativity. Together, they redefine what it means to move, fight and inspire. Above their nunchucks, swords and staffs, the Dn8 becomes Bugeisha Club’s ultimate weapon, pushing them to navigate their world with unmatched energy and precision. Interplaying between grit and gloss, Bugeisha Club embodies physical prowess, confidence and sensuality.

CLARYN CHONG

Directed by Claryn Chong, the creative draws inspiration from the superhero action films and video games Claryn grew up with - but where women were often sidelined as love interests. Meeting the members of Bugeisha Club felt like stepping into a dream, offering the chance to create a world where Asian women can be superheroes, breaking barriers and rewriting their own stories.
