Undercover and Champion Revisit “But Beautiful” Design Language for Their Third Collaboration

Fusing Jun Takahashi’s avant-garde pattern-making with Champion’s athletic heritage, the third Undercover x Champion capsule debuts this Saturday, featuring unique curved silhouettes inspired by the SS26 runway.

Undercover has officially announced its third collaboration with Champion, scheduled for release on Saturday, February 14, 2026. This latest installment is featured in the Spring/Summer 2026 Men’s collection, “but beautiful 4.5… but beautiful for the rebel man,” and adopts the distinctive curved cutting patterns seen in the Autumn/Winter 2025 Women’s “but beautiful 4…” line. The collection marks a refined evolution of their partnership, merging Champion’s athletic heritage with Takahashi’s avant-garde structural forms.

 

The five-piece lineup includes hoodies, sweatshirts, short-sleeve sweatshirts, sweatpants, and sweatshorts. Each item is constructed from 100% sustainable American cotton “REVERSE WEAVE® French Terry,” offering a soft and comfortable texture. To optimize the collection for the spring and summer seasons, the fabric weight has been adjusted to a lighter 10oz, down from the 11.5oz utilized in the previous winter collaboration. Available colors across the range include Beige, Gray Purple, Khaki Gray, Black, and Light Gray Beige.

 

Pricing for the collection starts at ¥30,000 for sweatshorts and reaches ¥42,000 for the flagship hoodies. The capsule will be available at major retailers including Undercover Aoyama, Noise Lab Shibuya Parco, Dover Street Market Ginza, and the official Undercover online store. This release provides a sophisticated take on sustainable sportswear, defined by its unique silhouettes and high-quality seasonal materials.
