A Fight-Gear Maker, Not a Fashion Label

Most Attack on Titan merch lives in the T-shirt-and-acrylic-stand category. This line is different because of who made it. Isami is a Japanese combat sports manufacturer founded in 1972 that produces gloves used in professional fight promotions, and Japanese anime news site Anime! Anime! reports that the company has applied the manga's designs to its regular, competition-grade gear rather than to novelty items.

The timing lines up with a franchise milestone. In 2026 the Japan Anniversary Association officially certified September 9, the date the manga began serialization in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shonen Magazine in 2009, as "Attack on Titan Day." Isami's line went on sale that same day, according to the company's press release.

By the numbers, Hajime Isayama's dark fantasy ran from 2009 to 2021, has been published in 18 languages across more than 180 countries, and has passed 120 million copies in circulation worldwide. The TV anime started in 2013 and wrapped with The Final Season's concluding chapters in 2023.

Colossal Titan and Beast Titan Sportswear, Plus Two Glove Colorways

The sportswear comes in two models. The Colossal Titan version works the character's sheer scale into the design, while the Beast Titan version represents the anomaly among Titans: one that speaks human language, commands Pure Titans, and ends up as the Survey Corps' most dangerous opponent. Each model includes a short-sleeve rash guard (¥8,800, roughly $60), a long-sleeve rash guard (¥9,350), fight shorts (¥8,800) and long spats (¥8,250), all in sizes S through XL.

The boxing gloves come in a brown model offered in 8oz and 14oz and a green model in 10oz and 16oz. The 8oz and 10oz gloves run ¥13,200 (roughly $90), with the heavier 14oz and 16oz pairs at ¥14,300. The source doesn't tie the two colors to specific characters.

Three Gis Built Around Chapter 1, Chapter 80, and the Salute

The jiu-jitsu gis are where Isami put the storytelling. The "To You, 2,000 Years From Now" gi takes its name from the manga's first chapter and renders its two defining images, the Colossal Titan's face appearing over the 50-meter wall and Eren's mother being eaten, in a blue-gray palette meant to carry the chapter's despair and dread. Eren's vow to wipe out the Titans (駆逐してやる, the line English-speaking fans know as "I'll kill them all") appears on the left chest.

The "Nameless Soldiers" gi is based on chapter 80, published in English by Kodansha under that title, in which Erwin leads the Survey Corps recruits on their charge against the Beast Titan. Levi is placed on one side of the jacket and Erwin on the other, so the two overlap when the gi is closed. Isami describes the overlapping panels as a way to express the two men's intersecting feelings, which is a smarter use of a gi's construction than most collab apparel manages.

The third gi, "Dedicate Your Hearts," is a competition model. It carries the franchise's signature phrase and pairs the image of humanity standing against the Titans with a jiu-jitsu competitor stepping up against a stronger opponent. The first two gis are ¥25,300 each (roughly $170) and the competition model is ¥22,000, all in sizes A0 through A3.

Looking Ahead

All eight models are on sale now through Isami's official online store and its own shops in Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka. Neither the Anime! Anime! report nor Isami's press release mentions international shipping or overseas retail, so fans outside Japan will likely need a proxy service for now.

Both chapters behind the gis are available in English: Kodansha publishes the Attack on Titan manga in print and on its K MANGA app, where chapter 80 appears under the same "Nameless Soldiers" title Isami used. The anime streams on Crunchyroll, Netflix and Hulu in the US.
