Jerseys landed at $250 and they were the headline move when Fanatics and Complex released the officially licensed World Baseball Classic Collection on Feb. 26, 2026. The two-brand capsule split is crystal: UNDEFEATED drove Team USA, Japan, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic interpretations while Born x Raised centered on Team Mexico, and the sale rolled out across the Complex and Fanatics apps and sites, Nike.com and select Nike stores, MLBShop, and UNDFTD locations in Los Angeles, New York and Japan plus select WBC stadium venues.

The design notes lean street-first. WWD writes, "The Undefeated collection features reimagined Nike jerseys, T-shirts and sweatshirts for Team USA, Japan, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic and blend classic baseball silhouettes with modern graphics." Born x Raised’s Mexico capsule is described by Sports Illustrated as one that "highlights Team Mexico with a collection of Nike jerseys, tees, and sweatshirts that honor baseball not only as a game, but as a generational throughline, one tied to community, legacy, and representation." SI also calls the Mexico pieces "Grounded in the brand's Los Angeles origins and shaped by Chicano culture and neighborhood identity, the designs lean into bold typography and unapologetic storytelling." An original product fragment preserved on the listings reads, "UNDEFEATED drove Team USA and Japan interpretations (navy stadium jerseys, crew" — the copy is truncated on the listing and the full text or imagery should be checked for final styling notes.

Complex’s product page lists concrete SKUs and price points: WBC x UNDEFEATED USA JERSEY - $250, WBC x BORN X RAISED MEXICO JERSEY - $250, WBC x BORN X RAISED MEXICO HOODIE - $120, WBC x UNDEFEATED USA CREWNECK - $100, and tees at $75 across the capsules. Those price tiers place the jerseys at the premium end of fanwear while hoodies and crews slot into accessible streetwear ranges; the Complex page uses a "COMING SOON" carousel and a countdown that publicly displayed "February 26 @ 5PM" before launch.

Distribution and timing were messy in public-facing copy. WWD's distribution line states the drop "will go on sale Thursday at noon ET on the Complex and Fanatics apps and e-commerce sites as well as on the MLB and Nike websites, select Nike stores, Undefeated stores in Los Angeles, New York and Japan, the MLB store in New York and select World Baseball Classic stadium venues. Special pop-ups are expected to be announced soon." At the same time, Complex’s on-site countdown showed February 26 at 5PM, creating a timing discrepancy across channels that buyers watching the drop should note.

The timing ties directly to the tournament: the World Baseball Classic runs March 5 to March 17, 2026, featuring 20 teams with pool play and quarterfinals staged in San Juan, Houston, Tokyo and Miami, quarterfinals split between Houston and Miami and the semifinals and finals at LoanDepot Park in Miami. Complex’s marketing frames the release as a cultural push, saying the collection "celebrates the global energy, fandom, and cultural impact of the World Baseball Classic," while editorial outlets note the pieces are meant to live off the field as much as on it.

If you care about which teams to chase, the drop maps UNDEFEATED to Team USA, Japan, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic and hands Mexico’s story to Born x Raised. With the tournament opening March 5 and semis and finals in Miami, expect these team-centric jerseys and street-ready crews and hoodies to show up in stadium merch tents and on the streets of L.A., New York and Miami as fans swap game-day caps for statement outerwear.
