Reporting from 1 sources: Inside.
GU will release four vintage-style T-shirts featuring Neon Genesis Evangelion characters and mecha, including a main visual design with Shinji, Asuka, and Rei, plus Unit-01 and Unit-02 shirts. Each T-shirt costs 1,990 yen and goes on sale June 22.
GU's collaboration with Neon Genesis Evangelion will hit stores June 22. The four T-shirt designs use a vintage wash finish meant to resemble retro band-style shirts. One shirt features the main trio of Shinji, Asuka, and Rei in a composition similar to the series' key visual. The other three focus on the Evangelion units: Unit-01 and Unit-02 each get their own shirt, and a fourth design is also part of the lineup. All are priced at 1,990 yen. The collaboration is the latest in a long line of Evangelion apparel tie-ups, but GU's price and wash treatment position the shirts as casual, everyday pieces rather than collector items.
