This Explorer hat is a collaboration between New Era and Goro Nakatsugawa, the owner of the Tokyo-based shop MIN-NANO. Nakatsugawa, who has a history of collaborations with New Era since 2020, directed this collection, which is an adaptation of New Era's classic 59FIFTY fitted cap. The design takes the six-panel crown of the 59FIFTY and reinterprets it into a hat-style silhouette, drawing inspiration from outdoor aesthetics.
