# Boxing Sportswear Capsule Aries x Champion Delivers a Graphic-Led Boxing-Inspired Apparel Range By Amy Duong | Published 2026-04-11 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aries-x-champion References: [ariesarise](http://ariesarise.com/)  The [Aries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aries-and-puma) x [Champion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champion-x-undercover) collaboration introduces a capsule that reworks classic sportswear through a boxing-inspired design lens. The collection centers on Champion’s Reverse Weave, reconstructed using aged deadstock jerseys and finished with layered archival and newly developed graphics. A restrained palette of black, grey, navy, and red supports bold motifs and prominent logo placements, creating a visually assertive identity across the range. The lineup spans ten products, translating athletic staples into statement-driven pieces shaped by material treatment and print techniques. The campaign, captured by Douglas Irvine, features professional boxers Harlem Eubank and Tiah-Mai Ayton, grounding the release in performance and discipline. Founded by Sofia Prantera, Aries brings its focus on [garment dyeing and graphic experimentation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2026-kyoto-black-collection) to Champion’s athletic heritage. The collection launches April 9 through both brands’ retail channels and select global stockists.
