The Slubby Demon vs. the Samurai Warrior—just another great fade battle set up by the folks over at Denimio. And one denimhead that’s been duking it out with his denim is Ahmad Fitry of Malaysia. His pair of Oni x Samurai 277XX have seen 10 months of wear and they’re showing some pretty epic fades and battle scars as a result.

Ahmad didn’t tell us if he’s done anything special to earn these fades, but judging by the heavy dye-loss, shredded honeycombs, and stacked-up whiskers, he’s pretty serious about winning this competition. The lower legs have maintained a fair amount of indigo, but that only makes for super high-contrast stacking towards the hems.
