Even 30 years after its original broadcast, the cultural juggernaut Neon Genesis Evangelion keeps the collaborations coming, with a seemingly endless stream of fresh merch.
The latest drop sees a reunion with Nishiki, a Japanese brand renowned for its intricate embroidery and a long-time creative partner. The new lineup includes several of their signature embroidered tees and a striking all-weather folding umbrella featuring Eva Unit-01 and a dragon. Pre-orders are now live on the official EVA STORE website.
Fans will be familiar with Nishiki's style from past collabs, which have included everything from sukajan and track jackets to tees and hoodies. Their signature move is blending large-scale, detailed embroidery with traditional Japanese motifs, seamlessly integrating them into the world of Evangelion.
This latest collection continues to lean into that traditional Japanese aesthetic, showcasing Asuka and Rei in beautiful yukatas, brought to life through stunning embroidery. The lineup also features designs centered on Eva Unit-01 and Lilith, each piece rocking the brand's unique artistic flair—a must-have for any Eva fan who loves traditional Japanese design.
▼ Rei Ayanami Japanese-Style Embroidered Tee Price: ¥10,780
The front keeps it clean with a Unit-00 emblem and a small firework embroidered on the left shoulder. The back, however, is a full-blown spectacle: a massive, embroidered scene of Rei in a yukata, leaning against a railing under a sky bursting with fireworks. It’s pure Japanese summer vibes, available in black or white.
▼ Asuka Japanese-Style Embroidered Tee Price: ¥10,780
The front features a simple Unit-02 emblem, accented with a Japanese-style crest and petals on the shoulder. The back goes all out with a huge graphic of Asuka in a goldfish-patterned yukata, holding a net from a goldfish scooping game—a classic summer festival scene. This design is also available in black and white.
▼ Eva Unit-01 Tee Price: ¥10,780
This design fuses Japanese and tribal-inspired cloud patterns to create a backdrop for Eva Unit-01, which is framed by fiery red details. The front shows the Eva wielding its Progressive Knife, while the back features a massive, imposing graphic of the mech itself. Available in black and white.
▼ Lilith Tee Price: ¥10,780
Centered around the same Japanese/tribal cloud motif, this tee's back features a large-scale embroidery of Lilith on the cross, enveloped by swirling clouds that give it an otherworldly aura. Available in black and white.
▼ Eva Unit-01 & Dragon All-Weather Folding Umbrella Price: ¥10,780
Fusing Eva Unit-01 with a dragon and Mt. Fuji, this umbrella showcases Nishiki's signature Japanese art style in spectacular fashion. Just opening it up creates a powerful visual statement, and even the carrying sleeve rocks the same design. It's not just for looks, either—this all-weather folding umbrella offers excellent UV protection, making it perfect for sunny days too.
