The Los Angeles Dodgers are once again teaming up with legendary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami for a vibrant merch collaboration tied to the team’s Japanese Heritage Night. This fresh capsule collection, designed in partnership with Complex and Fanatics, is a celebration of Japanese culture, baseball fandom, and Murakami’s signature style.
Murakami’s Dodgers Drop: What’s in the Collection?
The exclusive Dodgers x Murakami drop includes limited-edition apparel and accessories featuring Murakami’s colorful pop-art motifs. Items range from t-shirts and hoodies to collectible slides, all adorned with his signature smiling flowers and Katakana-lettered “Dodgers” branding. The designs fuse streetwear with sports culture in a way that’s resonating across generations of Angelenos.
This isn’t the first time Murakami has collaborated with the Dodgers. His previous Tokyo Series collection sold out almost instantly, and fans have been eager for another release ever since. With this new capsule, Angelenos have another chance to own a piece of wearable art that celebrates both baseball and Japanese culture.
Where to Get the Dodgers x Murakami Gear
Starting Japanese Heritage Night on April 28, the Murakami collection will be available in person at Dodger Stadium. Fans across LA can also shop the pieces online through Complex.com, Fanatics.com, and the Fanatics app.
LA’s Cultural Powerhouse Comes to Life
For those looking to pair baseball energy with high fashion, this limited-run drop is expected to move quickly. It was also announced that Murakami himself would throw out the first pitch at the event.
With Shohei Ohtani now part of the Dodgers, the team’s connection to Japan is stronger than ever. And so is the fan energy in Los Angeles. From Fairfax Avenue streetwear fans to longtime Dodgers loyalists, the Murakami capsule proves that sports culture in LA is as much about self-expression as it is about the scoreboard.
