Kirby’s Speedo Collab Returns With New 8-bit Inspired Swimwear
A second collaboration between the hit video game series Kirby and the global swimwear brand Speedo has officially been revealed.
The two previously teamed up back in December 2025 and this latest range focuses on incorporating retro graphics into active swimwear that supports regular swimmers and casual fans alike in the pool.
Kirby is a popular gaming franchise developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo.
The charming platforming titles follow a round, pink hero who inhales enemies to copy their unique abilities and save Dream Land from various colorful threats.
His adorable design and highly accessible adventures have made him a massive pop culture icon across the globe.
This second aquatic team-up focuses on Speedo’s “TurnS” category, which provides highly durable swimwear for students and daily training athletes.
The suits utilize the brand’s “ENDURANCE ECO” material, offering excellent chlorine resistance, reliable four-way stretch, and a thick, eco-friendly composition.
The visual theme for this wave revolves around original 8-bit pixel art of the pink hero, channeling his appearance in the original Kirby’s Dream Land for the Nintendo Game Boy.
This nostalgic design aims to bring the excitement of a retro video game straight into the water while remaining stylish for swimmers of all ages.
