KAWS UNIVERSE Sweatshirt Light Grey

The UNIQLO KAWS UNIVERSE Sweatshirt Light Gray is a light gray sweatshirt from the collection created in collaboration between UNIQLO and KAWS. The design features new characters created specifically for the KAWS UNIVERSE series, combining the iconic COMPANION with Sun, Earth, and Moon motifs. In this design, a small graphic featuring the Sun and COMPANION on the chest takes center stage, giving the sweatshirt a simple and understated look. The Light Gray color is based on a light, heathered shade of gray that serves as a neutral backdrop for the colorful illustration. The graphic remains small and does not take up a large portion of the sweatshirt, so the design does not rely on a bold, dominant print. The light base effectively highlights KAWS’s signature linework and the characters’ color palette, while maintaining a calm overall look. The back features an embroidered “XX” motif, one of the most recognizable symbols associated with KAWS’s work. This detail is rendered much more subtly than the main graphic and serves as an additional design element. The combination of a small illustration on the front and embroidery on the back allows for clear references to the artist without covering the entire surface of the sweatshirt with elaborate graphics. The UNIQLO KAWS UNIVERSE Light Gray Sweatshirt features a classic pullover design with long sleeves, a round neckline, and ribbed cuffs and hem. The simple design leaves plenty of room for graphic details and fits well with the character of the UT line, which focuses on collaborations with artists and designers. The KAWS UNIVERSE collection was created exclusively for UNIQLO and expands the KAWS universe with the characters Earth, Moon, and Sun appearing alongside COMPANION. UNIQLO describes the series as a project centered on connection, community, and togetherness, depicted through simple lines and the artist’s signature characters. The sweatshirt is part of the FW26 collection and went on sale on September 15, 2026.
