Ronald Chew
Nerdunit was launched in 2013 by Malaysian designer Ronald Chew while he was still bouncing between studies in Sunderland and San Francisco, and grew into one of the country's most exported streetwear labels. The brand's triple-arrow emblem has appeared on collaborations with Staple Pigeon, New Era, Be@rbrick and #FR2, and the line covers minimalist basics through graphic-heavy seasonal drops. Nerdunit operates its Experience Store in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, a Playground Store in SS15 Subang and opened a Future Store in Tokyo's Harajuku in 2018, making it one of the few Southeast Asian brands with a permanent Japanese retail footprint.
