GU Launches Neon Genesis Evangelion Vintage T-Shirt Collaboration
The collaboration brings a popular retro-fashion treatment to Evangelion merchandise, making the series accessible through a fast-fashion price point.
Reporting from 1 sources: Inside.
GU will release four vintage-style Neon Genesis Evangelion T-shirts on June 22. The lineup includes designs featuring Shinji, Asuka, and Rei, plus Unit-01 and Unit-02. Each shirt costs 1,990 yen and uses a wash-processed retro finish.
The shirts use a wash-processed finish that mimics worn-in vintage tees, a style currently popular in streetwear. Three designs focus on characters: one with Shinji, Asuka, and Rei in a main visual layout, and separate shirts for Unit-01 and Unit-02. GU is selling them at 1,990 yen each, well below typical licensed apparel prices. The collaboration launches June 22 through GU stores and the official website.
