New AVIREX x FFVII Remake apparel collection mixes Midgar with military fashion
American lifestyle brand AVIREX has officially announced the launch of a special Spring 2026 collection in collaboration with Square Enix’s FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE.
This unique partnership fuses the heavy, iconic world view of the hit RPG with the military heritage that AVIREX has cultivated for over 50 years.
The collection incorporates signature motifs and design essences from the game into classic military silhouettes.
Designs feature key imagery including the dystopic city of Midgar, the Shinra Electric Power Company, and fan-favorite characters.
The collaboration highlights the continued popularity of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, which reimagines the 1997 PlayStation classic with modern technology.
By combining the “new story” of the Remake with the historic identity of AVIREX, the collection aims to appeal to both fashion enthusiasts and dedicated gamers.
This announcement is the latest in a series of high-profile fashion collaborations for Square Enix properties, signaling a major push into lifestyle goods.
It follows the recent launch of the “Kingdom Hearts Design Goods Collection” by Small Planet, which brought Sora’s world to casual streetwear and accessories.
While the Kingdom Hearts collection focused on daily use items like hoodies and tumblers, the AVIREX collaboration targets the premium outerwear market with high-quality leather and nylon.
This wide range of merchandise ensures that fans of Square Enix titles have options ranging from affordable collectibles to high-end fashion statements.
