Limited Captain Tsubasa x Umbro Capsule Drops February 20 on Complex Shop

The limited Captain Tsubasa x Umbro capsule hit Complex Shop at 12:00 p.m. ET on February 20, 2026 and centers on a blue-and-white jersey emblazoned with Japanese text that appears alongside a character image from the anime. Complex’s drop page describes the capsule as an "anime x football/soccer heritage crossover" that merges Umbro’s pitch-ready DNA with the "legendary 1983 soccer anime."

Complex frames the release as four core pieces: jerseys, shorts, hoodies, and tees. The site copy sells them bluntly as "These four must-have pieces combine the spirit of the iconic anime series with Umbro’s classic soccer designs." Visually the standout is the blue-and-white jersey shown both worn by a Captain Tsubasa character and displayed solo, which gives the collection instant cosplay-to-streetwear energy — think retro soccer silhouette, bold kanji graphic, and clean Umbro double-diamond placement.

Pricing on the Complex Shop drop page runs in a tight window: "Prices start at $50 for a pair of shorts and go up to $90 for the jersey." That explicit range sits alongside another Complex-related fragment listing slightly different numbers: "jerseys priced around $80, shorts $70, hoodies ≈ $90, tees startin[g]." Both price statements appear in the supplied material; the drop page's $50 to $90 phrasing is the clearest SKU-range statement provided, but the alternate figures are also present in the available copy.

If you wanted to buy this capsule, Complex was the place to go — the drop landed on Complex Shop at the scheduled date and time and Complex encourages fans to "Don’t forget to follow Complex's official social media channels to stay up-to-date on drop reminders and updates." The commerce page also pushes mobile: "GET THE APP" and "Download the Complex App" appear as purchase prompts, and the page includes the site's affiliate disclosure: "COMPLEX participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means COMPLEX gets paid commissions on purchases made through our links to retailer sites."

Social buzz followed the drop. An Instagram caption fragment captured that energy: "Football and anime just linked up and this drop is absolute fire. Umbro teamed up with Captain Subasa for a limited collection and I'm" — the supplied caption cuts off, but the tone is clear: streetwear and anime audiences reacted loud and fast. The Complex page pairs editorial navigation like "SNEAKERS," "POP CULTURE," and "SPORTS" with the capsule, positioning it squarely at the intersection of sneaker culture and fandom.

This was a focused, limited launch that tied Umbro’s classic soccer silhouettes to a specific piece of anime lore. If you missed the noon drop, check the live Complex Shop and Complex social channels for inventory updates; the capsule's combination of a 1983 anime reference and Umbro heritage means these pieces will likely move fast.
