In the run-up to Major League Baseball’s Tokyo Series next month, Complex has commissioned Japanese contemporary artist Takashi Murakami to create a limited edition of merchandise and collectibles.
"This is something I am overwhelmed with gratitude to be a part of," the artist said of the new collection, which will be available on Complex Shop.
The new collection includes t-shirts and sweatshirts adorned with Murakami’s signature style, along with hats, baseballs and gloves.
MLB Tokyo Series kicking off next month, Topps has unveiled an exclusive collaboration with world-renowned artist Takashi Murakami.
Just as Topps and Fanatics pursued broader cultural appeal beyond the sports landscape in the U.S. last year with apparel and a baseball card set in collaboration with rapper Travis Scott, this new effort with Murakami seems to be a Japan-focused twist on the same concept.
