Junya Watanabe MAN x Reigning Champ have returned for Spring-Summer 2025 with a limited-edition capsule that showcases the Japanese designer’s signature deconstructed aesthetic, applied to Canadian-crafted athleticwear. Rooted in Watanabe’s continued exploration of denim and patchwork, the collection features layered, hand-sewn constructions reworked at his Tokyo atelier — bringing new depth to familiar forms.

Key pieces include the Relaxed Sweatpant and Hoodie, each reimagined with raw-edge detailing and asymmetrical paneling that reflect Watanabe’s artful, collage-driven approach. Produced in small batches, the garments embody the fusion of precision craftsmanship from Reigning Champ’s Vancouver facilities and Watanabe’s avant-garde design ethos.

This collaboration reinforces Reigning Champ’s positioning as a premium global label by aligning with a visionary designer known for cult-level credibility. For Watanabe, it extends his experimental ethos into lifestyle and streetwear, broadening appeal.
