Part of Uniqlo’s LifeWear concept, which celebrates a range of pop culture icons from around the world, the brand has collaborated with Riot Games on a League of Legends UT collection.
The six-piece T-shirt collection features designs inspired by popular characters, in-game elements and the world-famous girl group K/DA. Previous Uniqlo UT collections within the LifeWear concept have included brands such as Marvel and Disney.
Since its launch in 2009, League of Legends (LoL) has maintained itself as one of the most popular PC games in the world, engaging nearly 8 million peak concurrent players daily globally and becoming the inspiration for many multimedia projects across music, comic books and television.
Uniqlo’s LoL T-shirts will be priced at $19.90 each and be available in sizes XXS to 3XL.
