It’s the battle of our lifetime. Who is king of the slub? Denimio pits Oni against Samurai for a year-long fade contest to settle the debate. The ultimate prize for the fade champion is a trip to Japan. The top three will get the chance to help design a jean with Denimio as well as a pair for themselves. Contestants will be put to the test along the way with some interesting challenges maniacally schemed by the Denimio team and we’re sure there will be some who just can’t take it.

With Samurai’s unsanforized 19oz. denim in both their S710 and S510 cuts, against ONI’s 16.5oz. denim in their 517XX, 512XX, and 277XX cuts, there’s no excuse not to enlist.

The jeans are available for pre-order now and all you have to decide is whether you’re #TeamOni or #TeamSamurai.
