UNIQLO and Mario Kart World Apparel Collection Launches August 10
UNIQLO’s graphic T-shirt brand UT has announced its first-ever collaboration with Mario Kart World, the latest entry in Nintendo’s racing franchise for Nintendo Switch 2. The apparel collection will launch on August 10, 2026, at all UNIQLO stores and through the brand’s online store. The lineup draws inspiration from the game’s dynamic races, its expansive interconnected world where players can race across continents, and its roster of beloved characters. Several designs also incorporate in-game sticker graphics, offering fans a variety of wearable options that capture the high-speed energy of the Mario Kart series.
The collection includes MEN T-shirts in four designs priced at 1,990 yen (~$14/~¥100), available in sizes XS through 4XL. KIDS T-shirts in four designs are priced at 990 yen (~$7/~¥50) in sizes 100 to 160, alongside KIDS sweatshirts also in four designs at 1,990 yen (~$14/~¥100) in the same size range. Certain sizes including 100, XS, XXL, 3XL, and 4XL will be offered exclusively through UNIQLO’s online store, while standard sizes are available both in-store and online.
Adult T-shirts feature a simple one-point graphic on the front for easy everyday wear, while the back showcases bold illustrations of characters gathered together or in-game sticker designs printed prominently. One design depicts Mario, Luigi, and Bowser competing in a race rendered in monochrome style. Another features Mario traveling across the vast interconnected world. The adult-focused designs aim to balance Mario Kart fandom with subtle, wearable fashion suitable for daily use, making them appealing even for those who prefer understated gaming merchandise.
Kids items capture specific race moments with graphics featuring character ensembles, Mario versus Bowser racing scenes, and Mario racing alongside Yoshi and Gabon across expansive environments. One design shows Donkey Kong leading the race while Toad and Goomba chase behind, incorporating game items like Dash Mushrooms. The sweatshirt collection, suited for autumn weather, features Mario, Yoshi, and Luigi racing, plus a shell-themed design showing Bowser preparing to throw a red shell. Character group visuals and sticker graphics appear on the front of these playful pieces. This collaboration offers fans of all ages a stylish way to represent the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 title through fashion.
