Japanese streetwear label WACKO MARIA is launching its first official partnership with Major League Baseball, anchoring the debut collection around the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, and San Diego Padres. The capsule collection releases on Saturday, October 10, 2026, combining traditional American sportswear silhouettes with the brand’s signature animal prints and graphics.
WACKO MARIA Selects Three Iconic Franchises
Rather than rolling out a league-wide licensing agreement, WACKO MARIA narrowed its focus to three specific teams for its inaugural baseball capsule: the New York Yankees, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the San Diego Padres. The Japanese brand uses each franchise’s historic logos and colorways as a baseline, filtering them through its distinct graphic language. The collaboration aims to bridge the gap between traditional American baseball merchandise and contemporary Japanese streetwear aesthetics.
Reversible Varsity Jackets Feature Leopard Print Fur
The centerpiece of the five-piece drop is the Reversible Varsity Jacket, priced at ¥63,800. The jacket features black nylon on the primary side adorned with large team scripts, logos, and rib trims striped in specific franchise colors—such as blue for the Dodgers and yellow for the Padres. Flipping the garment reveals a full construction in WACKO MARIA’s signature leopard print fur, creating a stark contrast between standard athletic outerwear and high-fashion graphics. Complementing the outerwear is a 100% black nylon Track Jacket priced at ¥33,000 and matching Track Pants at ¥22,000 designed to function as a complete set.
WACKO MARIA Collection Launches on October 10
Rounding out the apparel lineup, the brand prepared a Hooded Sweat Shirt retailing at ¥28,600 and a Crew Neck T-Shirt priced at ¥8,800. The hooded sweatshirts arrive in black and gray colorways, displaying team scripts across the chest and additional logos on the sleeve, while the t-shirts are offered in black and white. The entire collection hits physical WACKO MARIA retail stores and authorized stockists on Saturday, October 10, 2026, alongside a simultaneous launch on the brand’s official online store beginning at 12:00 with worldwide shipping options available.
