W.ESSENTIÉLS and Faith Industries are partnering to launch a ‘My Hero Academia’-themed capsule collection that revolves around the ‘Paranormal Liberation War’ arc in the series. In this arc, the protagonists have gathered all the knowledge they require to face the Paranormal Liberation Front head-on, which leads to an all-out war against the antagonists. Standout pieces include corduroy flight jackets and half-zip hoodies that feature Hawks and Endeavor, while antagonists like Tomura Shigaraki and Himiko Toga can be found on oversized monochrome knitwear pieces.
Some of the franchises’ most popular characters such as Izuku, Bakugo, and Shota decorate a selection of paneled varsity jackets and graphic T-shirt designs. ‘PLUS ULTRA’ rugby shirts finish off the collection, along with bomber jackets and contrast-stitching hoodies that feature villains Kai Chisaki and Dabi.
