Hypland help pave the road to Gundam's 45th anniversary
In an exciting fusion of streetwear fashion and iconic anime, Hypland is set to release its highly anticipated collaboration with Gundam online and in store on March 23rd at 9:00 AM PST. This unique collection showcases a blend of Hypland's bold, street-savvy designs with the legendary imagery of the Gundam universe, offering fans a fresh way to express their love for this seminal anime series.
One of the collaboration's highlight elements is the RX-78-2 GUNDAM Reversible Puffer Jacket. This beautifully created jacket captures the essence of the RX-78-2 Gundam, with rich artwork evoking the renowned mobile suit.
The jacket's reversible design adds a level of adaptability rarely seen in collaboration items, allowing for two contrasting looks inside a single garment. On one side, the jacket displays the vivid and complex elements associated with the RX-78-2 Gundam, making a bold statement that is consistent with the anime's tradition. Flipping the jacket inside out reveals a sleek, pure white alternative, presenting a more understated option that retains a hint of the collaboration's essence through its minimalist elegance.

This duality allows the jacket to adapt to a wide range of personal styles and settings, from a bold statement of fanboy pride to a subtle tribute to the Gundam universe in a more formal context. Such adaptability demonstrates the thought that went into the jacket's design, ensuring that it appeals to a wide range of people, including die-hard Gundam fans and those who like versatile high-street fashion.
Intriguingly, there is talk of releasing a Char's Zaku II version of the puffer jacket, implying that the collection will expand to include more legendary figures from the Gundam series. This option provides exciting opportunities for fans to demonstrate their devotion to various sides within the Gundam universe, adding to the collaboration's appeal as a celebration of the series' rich mythology and character roster.
Hypland also teased fans with New Era baseball caps for the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers, inspired by the RX-78-2 Gundam, Char's Zaku II, and Haro. These hats are a subtle yet appealing way to commemorate the Gundam series, fusing anime with modern culture. More details about the hats will be available soon.
The collab goes beyond outerwear to include a selection of hoodies featuring the (blue) RX-78-2 Gundam and (red) Char's Zaku II, which claim to bring both comfort and style, making them ideal for fans wishing to show off their Gundam pride in a more casual situation.
Additionally, Hypland previews the RX-78-2 Gundam head rugs, which will give an element of anime-inspired decor to enthusiasts' homes.
Hypland has announced that the collaboration products will be available online beginning March 23rd at 9:00 a.m. PST. This launch is significant for both Gundam fans and streetwear enthusiasts, as it provides a unique opportunity to commemorate the merger of two great cultures.
Fans are encouraged to mark their calendars and set alarms for the release. Given the popularity of both Hypland and the Gundam series, goods from this collaboration are expected to sell out rapidly, making it a must-see event for collectors and fans. Whether you're drawn to the detailed designs of the RX-78-2 GUNDAM Reversible Puffer Jacket or the casual charm of the Gundam-themed hoodies and rugs, this collection has something for every Gundam and streetwear fan.
