After launching an exclusive Father's Day-inspired and a 50th anniversary collection just a short while ago, Shonen Jump and Uniqlo joined together yet again for the creation of a new line that follows a 'Beginning and End' theme.
Due to this, the line consists of a wide range of unique graphic tees that feature characters and motifs from anime influences from all over. This includes tees that show off aspects of the original 'Dragon Ball Z' and 'Naruto,' in addition to many other designs.
The latest Shonen Jump and Uniqlo line is expected to launch on July 27th, and will be available for purchase online, as well as from in-store Uniqlo locations throughout Japan. Shortly after this launch, the tees will become available in other locations as well.
