Complex is proud to bring together Takashi Murakami and two of the biggest teams in MLB to celebrate this historic sports moment in Tokyo.
This once-in-a-lifetime collaboration merges Murakami's unmistakable artistry with the global energy of baseball, capturing the essence of the city and the deep cultural connection between art and sport.
I think this new collection builds upon the historical friendship between Japan and the United States. I feel lucky to...highlight Shohei Ohtani, an outstanding athlete.
