Champion is partnering with Naruto to make its first-ever anime-inspired line, and if you don’t believe us, well … believe it!
Champion’s upcoming Naruto apparel collection celebrates the series’ most well-known characters, including Kakashi, Itachi, Sakura, and — of course — Naruto himself. Each style features a character paired with the iconic Champion “C” symbol, decorated and colored to match the featured character. Fans can choose to purchase T-shirts or hoodies, with styles available in men’s, women’s, and kids’ sizes.
The first sweatshirt in the line is a simple, black Champion hoodie with the character whose main goal is to become his own “Champion” — Naruto. He’s posed, holding a Rasengan with his hand outstretched as if he’s about to use the ability. Another hoodie is bright red and features Kakashi Hatake. He’s holding his iconic black dagger, better known as a kunai, and he’s crouched in front of the Champion symbol. The black “C” has streaks of grey, matching Kakashi’s hair. The most colorful hoodie is a black-and-red tie-dye sweatshirt with Itachi Uchiha balancing on one leg. There are also grey and baby-blue hoodies, and both have Japanese writing alongside graphics and characters from the show, all posed in fighting stances.
When it comes to the T-shirts, fans can choose between styles featuring single characters, such as Gaara, or ones depicting multiple fan-favorites. For example, a white T-shirt in the collection has a design with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura together as a trio.
Fans can also customize their Naruto merchandise in any Champion store. They can select patches of characters including Naruto, Gaara, Shikamaru, Tsunade, Hashirama, Tobirama, and Hiruzen, and symbols such as the Uzumaki Clan symbol, the Uchiha Clan symbol, an Akatsuki cloud, and a Sharingan.
This limited-edition collection will be available in stores and online at Champion starting on Aug. 13.
