Project Orochi Review: Run Club Box Crewneck Black
Project Orochi has carved out a niche in streetwear with its blend of vintage athletic references and futuristic, "tech-noir" graphic design. Our review team examined the Run Club Box Crewneck in Black, one of the brand's heavyweight fleece pieces, to see how it performs on fabric quality, construction, and overall value.
Design Concept
The Run Club Box Crewneck draws on vintage run-club and athletic-team aesthetics, reimagined with a futuristic edge. The back of the crewneck features a gradient trail-runner graphic framed by sponsor-style emblems, evoking a "tech-noir city" look that separates it from more generic crewneck designs on the market. It's a distinctive graphic treatment aimed at streetwear fans who want something with a narrative behind the print, not just a logo slapped on a blank.
Fabric and Construction
Project Orochi builds this crewneck from 10oz heavyweight fleece using a 60/40 cotton-polyester blend, with a 100% cotton exterior face fabric and a brushed interior for warmth and softness. The construction includes ribbed cuffs and waistband along with dropped shoulders, giving the piece a boxy, oversized streetwear fit rather than a slim athletic cut. Sizing runs from S to 3XL.
Manufacturing and Ethics
One detail that stood out in our research is Project Orochi's manufacturing transparency. The brand states that this piece is WRAP-Gold certified for ethical manufacturing, and that it is made, processed, and packaged entirely at the company's own New York facility with no outsourcing or dropshipping involved. The brand also states its production team is paid above minimum wage — a detail worth noting for shoppers who weigh supply chain practices in their purchasing decisions.
Availability
At the time of our review, the listing showed the Run Club Box Crewneck as "almost sold out," so sizing availability may be limited depending on when you're shopping. If a specific size matters to you, it's worth checking the current stock directly rather than waiting.
Shipping and Returns
Project Orochi offers free USA shipping and a 60-day return window, which is considerably more generous than the standard 30-day policy most streetwear brands offer — giving buyers extra room to decide if the fit and fabric weight work for them.
Editor's Take
Editor's take: at $88, the Run Club Box Crewneck sits at a premium price point for a crewneck, but the heavyweight 10oz fleece construction, domestic manufacturing, and distinctive graphic design help justify the cost for shoppers focused on quality streetwear rather than fast fashion basics. Given the "almost sold out" status, those interested should check current availability soon on the Run Club Box Crewneck product page.
