Champion Japan has set 31 October for its first WACKO MARIA capsule: a crewneck, three hooded tops and sweatpants built around its Reverse Weave construction. The Japanese online launch is scheduled for noon, alongside selected stores.
The collection changes the graphics and silhouettes rather than claiming a new fabric invention. Tim Lehi artwork appears on the crewneck, while the hoodies move between script branding and larger back lettering.
Five styles, one release
The C8-E042 crewneck and C8-E222 sweatpants are each listed at ¥26,400. Pullover hoodies C8-E126 and C8-E127 cost ¥28,600 each, and the C8-E128 zipped hoodie is ¥30,800. These are Japanese tax-inclusive prices, not converted Malaysian retail prices.
Champion specifies 11.5oz Terry Fleece in 90% cotton and 10% polyester. Its Reverse Weave layout turns the main fabric direction horizontally and uses side expansion panels. That is a construction description, not a durability test performed by simpl.
Read the product listing, not the promotion banner
The exact crewneck page marks this collaboration as excluded from campaigns. A general first-order discount advertised elsewhere on the store should therefore not be treated as applying to it.
As of 28 October, the release remains ahead of its announced date. We have not verified size-level stock, international checkout or delivery to Malaysia. The useful next check is the exact style and size after the Japanese launch, rather than an assumption that all five pieces will remain available.
