A Unique Collaboration: RVCA x Chiba Lotte Marines

In a thrilling first-time collaboration, RVCA is partnering with the Chiba Lotte Marines for the highly anticipated "BLACK SUMMER WEEK 2026" limited collection, set for release in late June 2026. This collaboration reflects the shared values of both brands, rooted in community spirit and cultural development.

The Essence of Community and Culture

The collaboration represents a fusion of the distinct realms each brand operates in: the Chiba Lotte Marines, known for their strong ties with fans and unique cultural expressions, and RVCA, a brand deeply immersed in surfing, skateboarding, art, and martial arts. Together, they stitch a narrative that connects diverse communities through a cultural lens.

The color black plays a significant role in this collection, serving as the key hue for the BLACK SUMMER WEEK event. For RVCA, black symbolizes their brand philosophy—"VA (The Balance of Opposites)." This color embodies the ethos that both brands share, showcasing a commitment to nurturing community-centric culture while embracing contrasting values. The collaboration stands as a testament to the identities of RVCA and the Chiba Lotte Marines as they resonate beyond their individual fields and blend the realms of sports and art.

Celebration of the Collaboration

To mark the launch and the first collaboration, RVCA SHIBUYA will host a live viewing event on July 31, 2026, starting at 18:00, featuring a live broadcast of a Chiba Lotte Marines game. The event will also showcase artwork from Hohly, the artist behind the murals at ZOZO Marine Stadium, creating an immersive cultural experience. Attendees can look forward to exclusive merchandise featuring original artwork created expressly for the event.

Families, friends, and sports enthusiasts will have the chance to gather and celebrate the melding of baseball culture and street art in a vibrant atmosphere. We invite everyone to join us for an unforgettable evening that exemplifies the intersection of RVCA and Chiba Lotte Marines' community-focused philosophy.

BLACK SUMMER WEEK: An Immersive Experience

The BLACK SUMMER WEEK is the flagship event of the Chiba Lotte Marines, celebrating its sixth year. From July 10 to August 9, 2026, the ZOZO Marine Stadium will transform into a lively outdoor festival, merging the excitement of baseball with engaging experiences for both avid fans and newcomers.
