One of the earliest Dope Real models, with a faceplate made just for Louie Vega.

This Dope Real 3400 was gifted to Louie by the brand’s founder, Katsuyasu Kimura who started making Dope Reals since 2001. It features a custom grey faceplate, and is one of the first ever built — a rare unit tied to house legends like François K, Joe Claussell, and Timmy Regisford.
