Satoshi Nakamoto's Spring/Summer 2025 collection, 'The Big Tourist,' blends vintage Americana with streetwise flair, featuring graphic tees, motorsport-inspired outerwear, and a fresh take on the OTW By Vans Old Skool sneaker.
What this is:
Satoshi Nakamoto—the enigmatic label beloved for layering high-concept Americana with streetwise flair—has just pulled back the curtain on its Spring/Summer 2025 collection, “The Big Tourist.” This much-anticipated release continues the label’s fascination with vintage Americana and retro athletic vibes, offering a robust, mix-and-match wardrobe of graphic tees, outerwear, denim, and more. The lookbook also spotlights a fresh twist on the Satoshi Nakamoto x OTW By Vans Old Skool sneaker, now dressed in a dreamy light blue canvas and finished with signature pearled details.
Our take:
Let’s be clear: “The Big Tourist” is Satoshi Nakamoto at its most playful and self-assured. If past seasons hinted at nostalgia for American road trips, this collection steps firmly into the driver’s seat—revving the engine with a motorsport-inspired “SN Racing” graphic long sleeve and a “Movie Star Satoshi” leather jacket that channels the rakish glamour of 1970s speedways. That same movie-star motif reappears on a patchwork hoodie, demonstrating the label’s knack for remixing its own iconography in delightfully meta ways.
The brand’s signature lettering takes center stage, scattered across garments in bold, sometimes sparkling iterations. A standout tank is dotted with silver stars and emblazoned with a vivid blue “Satoshi Nakamoto” logo, while a grey sweatsuit features jeweled stars and cursive signatures—a luxurious take on loungewear that feels equally suited for a Malibu getaway or a city stroll.
Of course, no Satoshi Nakamoto drop would be complete without a wink to the surreal. One graphic tee features a psychedelic double-hand illustration studded in gold, with “Satoshi” spelled out in gleaming studs—a touch that’s echoed at the hem and sleeves. Turn it around and you’ll find “WELCOME TO THE MACHINE” blazoned across the back, all in that unmistakable Nakamoto script.
Rounding out the collection are rugged camouflage cargo pants (a house staple), and delightfully textured, light-wash denim shorts and jeans—pieces that call out to summer’s wanderlust. But it’s the footwear collaboration with Vans that may earn cult status: the new Old Skool colorway is pure California cool, bringing a sense of optimism and ease to the whole range.
In sum: “The Big Tourist” is deeply wearable, yet never dull. It’s a collection for the curious, the nostalgic, and anyone who believes that comfort and self-expression should go hand-in-hand. Set your alarm—these pieces are dropping today, May 25, on Satoshi Nakamoto’s official site, though the exact release time remains a mystery. If past drops are any indication, expect them to move fast.
