Captain Tsubasa

In 2018, an absolute legend entered the L&L stage. With the world's first "Captain Tsubasa" streetwear collection, we captured the hearts of international soccer fans. For anyone who grew up with the anime, the Tsubasa pieces represented a journey back in time to the soccer field and the days when the stories of Japanese soccer stars on the tube TV were more exciting than homework.

While the primary focus of the first release was on the main character "Tsubasa Ozora," later drops delved deeper into the series' history, exploring the rivalry between "Nankatsu" and "Toho" and the iconic international players. The limited-edition jerseys of "Tsubasa" and "Hyuga" from the initial releases, in particular, sparked a real hype and were sold out in no time. Prominent footballers and rappers, such as Paul Pogba and Hanybal, quickly emerged as fans of the Tsuabsa Collection.

We took a closer look at the background of the collection in episode #3 of our video format “Below The Surface”.
