In this collaboration, the following items will be released with designs inspired by Mobile Suit Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam UC.
Inventive Mesh Gloves
Made from shade-printed, perforated mesh water-repellent goat leather and polyester, the KUSHITANI-developed knuckle protector is designed to ensure breathability. The lower part of the palm features a resin palm slider, while the index finger and thumb are equipped with smartphone-compatible touch functions. Two models are available: a white-based Unicorn Gundam model from Mobile Suit Gundam UC, and a black with red accents Char model from Mobile Suit Gundam. The price is 14,850 yen (tax included), and sizes range from S to XL.
REBRO HOODIE
It uses a thick, cotton-like material with a diamond-like texture that was developed exclusively by KUSHITANI. The back side is also textured to reduce the area that comes into contact with the skin, resulting in a more comfortable fit. The popular hood design comes in two colors: black, inspired by Char from Mobile Suit Gundam, and white, inspired by the Unicorn Gundam’s Psychoframe from Mobile Suit Gundam UC. The price is 26,400 yen (tax included), and sizes range from M to XL.
pull-up hoodie
The jacket is made from a thick, cotton-like material with a diamond-like texture developed exclusively by KUSHITANI, and the back is also textured to ensure a comfortable feel against the skin. The shoulders feature diamond-patterned padded design stitching. It comes in two colors: black, inspired by Char from Mobile Suit Gundam, and navy, inspired by the Banshee from Mobile Suit Gundam UC. The price is 23,100 yen (tax included), and sizes range from M to XL.
Flow T-shirt
Based on a sweat-absorbing, quick-drying heathered T-shirt, the KUSHITANI logo is placed as a single accent on the front, and the KUSHITANI oval Mt. Fuji logo and motifs from each title are printed on the back. It comes in three colors: black, inspired by Char from Mobile Suit Gundam, white, inspired by the Unicorn Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam UC, and navy, inspired by the Banshee. It is priced at 6,380 yen (tax included) and is available in sizes S to XL.
Neck guard
This neck guard is made of stretchy material and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as a face guard when riding a motorcycle or exercising, or wrapped around the neck to protect from the sun. It comes in three colors: black, inspired by Char from Mobile Suit Gundam; white, inspired by the Unicorn Gundam from Mobile Suit Gundam UC; and navy, inspired by the Banshee. It costs 4,400 yen (tax included) and measures approximately 50.0 cm in height and 25 cm in width.
