'Champions for Champion' is the latest brand campaign from Champion, celebrating a diverse lineup of global tastemakers -- including Aly Raisman, Romeo Beckham, The Kid LAROI, and Gus Kenworthy -- who redefine what it means to be a modern champion. The storytelling-rich campaign debuts alongside the 'Champion for Target' collection, a wide-ranging assortment of apparel, accessories, and sporting goods for adults and kids.
Available beginning August 3 at Target stores and online, the collection features more than 500 exclusive, fashion-forward pieces, with an archival, varsity-inspired capsule to follow in September.
By pairing an inclusive, globally focused campaign with an expansive, style-driven Target partnership, Champion strengthens its relevance across generations.
