In what has to be one of the coolest strokes of marketing ever the PR team behind the launch of No More Heroes 2 in the UK and British fashion label Chateau Roux have conspired to bring the game's Airport 51 clothing store into real life. In case you haven't played either of Suda51's masterpieces Airport 51 is where Travis Touchdown goes to buy new badass t-shirts and the like.
Unfortunately, the store will not be selling all of Travis' badass t-shirts and from the photos above they're kind of half-assing the whole thing. The store will be full of Suda51 approved clothing, presumably from the Chateau Roux label. Accompanying the store will also be a life-size model of Mr. Touchdown himself, which you can see below is dressed to impress.
Chateau Roux is a little too indie rock for my taste, but if you live in the UK and want to pretend you're an Otaku assassin for a bit then head over to 17 Newburgh St, London W1F 7RZ between now and June 4 to check it out.

Ahem
RAAAAAGE DO WANT. That's it, I'm opening an Airport 51 of my own here in Colorado.
Sorry about that. Picture didn't upload for some reason. Should be there now... not that it's that great anyway.
>_>
raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage.
What the hell are you on?
If nothing else though, I'd visit that store just to get my picture taken next to the Travis Touchdown mannequin...and then steal his awesome shirt.
This is so awesome. UK, I don't wanna hear you bitch no more about you not getting cool shit, 'cause to me anything with involving Suda51's creations are THE COOLEST SHIT.
I hope R* turn all Mister Byrites into Binco stores upon the release of GTA V.
But if they don't sell any shirts like in the game, it feels kind of pointless indeed. Although, if that photo is to be believed and they at least sell the Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly shirt, I'd already be as happy as can be.
Man, I'm not making sense!
RRGH! This is so cool! I'm filled with so much "DO WANT", it hurts! >.<
