This season, the worlds of high-concept streetwear and Japanese anime converge once again as LIBERE unveils “SHINOBI ∞ CONTINUE,” its second collaboration with Naruto. Following its preview at ComplexCon Las Vegas, the collection now enters its most exciting phase — the November 2025 pre-release and January 2026 global launch — marking a key shopping moment for fans of both design and storytelling.
Founded in Tokyo in 2019, LIBERE has built a reputation for blending utilitarian workwear influences with a fearless, expressive street aesthetic. For SHINOBI ∞ CONTINUE, the brand reinterprets Naruto’s world through its own visual language — one rooted in motion, individuality, and endurance. Drawing inspiration from LIBERE’s Spring/Summer 2026 theme, “MUGEN ∞ SPECTRUM”, which explores the idea that “moments last forever,” the collection connects the brand’s ever-evolving design philosophy with the indomitable spirit of the anime’s heroes.
Each piece tells part of that story. A black oversized T-shirt evokes the calm authority of Kakashi Hatake, while a bright yellow long-sleeve captures Naruto’s signature energy, complete with imagery from his Ashura Mode. A burgundy Team 7 hoodie nods to the bonds that define the series’ central trio, and a black cap embroidered with Naruto’s Rasengan brings the capsule’s motif full circle — a symbolic blend of strength and creativity. These garments channel anime nostalgia through contemporary streetwear forms — oversized fits, grounded tones, and artfully bold graphics that speak to both long-time fans and fashion purists.
While ComplexCon attendees were the first to see the collection in person, the real excitement begins this month, as LIBERE opens pre-orders in November 2025 on its official website and at select partners including Complex Shop. Those who secure their pieces now will be among the earliest to own the collaboration before its January 2026 general release, which will reach global markets (with some country exceptions). The January rollout will mark the full retail availability of the collection, giving international fans another chance to shop — though, as with most of LIBERE’s drops, quantities will remain limited.
The capsule’s strength lies in its versatility. The Kakashi T-shirt pairs effortlessly with structured trousers or relaxed cargo pants, while the Team 7 hoodie offers a statement layer under tailored outerwear. The yellow long-sleeve brings a flash of color that feels editorial yet easy, especially styled with denim or monochrome looks. Each piece stands on its own, but together they create a wardrobe that bridges anime culture and luxury streetwear without compromise.
More than a collaboration, SHINOBI ∞ CONTINUE reflects a broader creative dialogue between LIBERE’s design ethos and the timeless appeal of Naruto. It’s not nostalgia for its own sake — it’s an exploration of perseverance, individuality, and transformation, themes that resonate with both brand and story alike. As a follow-up to the 2021 collection, this new chapter feels more mature, refined, and collectible — an evolution that mirrors the growth of its characters and its wearers. For shoppers, this drop is an invitation to own a piece of cultural fusion — a wearable narrative that celebrates the artistry of anime and the sophistication of contemporary fashion.
