Gundam’s Official Motorcycle Apparel Collection Returns to the US This September
Bandai’s official Gundam apparel brand STRICT-G has re-opened pre-orders for a line of apparel created in partnership with premium motorcycle wear manufacturer KUSHITANI.
The “STRICT-G x KUSHITANI” collaboration for 2026 includes a lineup of high-quality riding gear inspired by two iconic Gundam anime series, the original Mobile Suit Gundam and Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash.
Mobile Suit Gundam is a legendary 1979 anime and is represented in this new collection through motifs based on the infamous antagonist Char Aznable and his iconic red color scheme.
Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway’s Flash is a newer addition to the franchise, with the most recent theatrical release, The Sorcery of Nymph Circe, having recently aired in North American cinemas this past May.
Garments in the collection inspired by this modern film feature the logo and dark navy colors of the anti-Earth Federation organization known as Mafty.
KUSHITANI, founded in 1947 in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, brings decades of expertise in crafting professional racing suits and comfortable urban motorcycle gear to this partnership.
The STRICT-G and Kushitani collaboration is an annual event, with last year’s collection featuring designs based on Gundam Unicorn as well as a range of other Char Aznable themed items.
The 2026 lineup consists of ten different apparel options and accessories designed for both comfortable riding and everyday wear.
