Fira X Wear and Crunchyroll Go Plus Ultra with New MY HERO ACADEMIA Collection
We absolutely love it when we can rep our favorite fandoms out in the real world. From shirts to jackets to pants, we have come a long way in what's available in the world. And as if we needed any more items in our closet, Fira X Wear and Crunchyroll announced they are dropping an epic collection inspired by My Hero Academia . Honestly, 'epic' might not even be the right word for this collection; we would have to say it's pretty 'plus ultra'.
Okay, puns aside, this collection is fantastic. Jasmine James, the incredible mind behind Fira X Wear and designer of the collection, drew inspiration from the iconic sports uniforms for this first collaboration with Crunchy Roll. The collection includes a cropped hoodie, stylized utility jacket, futuristic cargo sweatpants and a fitted romper. Like other items sold on their website, the collection will range from size small up to 3XL.

Fira X Wear and Crunchy Roll were gracious enough to send us the cropped hoodie to check out for ourselves. We are beyond impressed with the quality of the piece and how well it wears. It fits right into the idea of closet cosplay without feeling or looking overly costumed. All the pieces tie together so well and will make anyone wearing them look like they walked right out of the series. But they also work great on their own. The cropped hoodie paired with jeans and a white t-shirt makes for a low-key closet cosplay.

Jasmine and her husband, Vincent, founded Fira X Wear during the pandemic while the two were planning a future vacation to Mexico. Vincent thought it would be fine to mix their love for cosplay with their vacation attire, and Jasmine's beach episode bathing suit designs were born. Fast forward a few years, and Fira X Wear has successfully bridged the gap between fashion and pop culture.
The first Fira X Wear and Crunchyroll My Hero Academia collaboration is now live. Fans can purchase these pieces on the official website. We highly suggest picking up your favorite piece before it sells out. We don't have any news on the following two collections, but we couldn't help but ponder what they could be. Our vote goes for a collection inspired by our favorite heroes' super outfits. Which item from this collection is your favorite, and what do you want to see in the future?
