Celebrating the 30th anniversary of its television anime debut this year, Evangelion remains as popular as ever. Its steady stream of collaborations is proof that the franchise has lost none of its pull over the past three decades.
The latest team-up pairs the series with TIGORA, the Japanese sports brand known for delivering high-performance gear at accessible prices. The collection includes running shoes, T-shirts, and other items decked out in the signature colors of Evangelion Unit-01, Unit-00, and Unit-02. The lineup is now available through major retailers across Japan and the Alpen Group's official online store.
The collaboration features eight products in total, including running shoes and T-shirts inspired by the signature color schemes of Evangelion Unit-01, Unit-00, and Unit-02. This is more than a collection of character merchandise: each piece is designed with the performance demands of serious runners in mind, bringing the world of Evangelion straight into everyday training.
