‘Metal Gear Solid’ and HUF Team Up for Spring/Summer 2026 Collection
The tactical espionage series inspires a nostalgia-driven capsule featuring iconic Yoji Shinkawa artwork.
Summary
- The collaboration draws heavy inspiration from rare Japan-exclusive promotional merchandise from the original Metal Gear Solid trilogy
- The apparel range includes graphic hoodies and tees featuring collage battle scenes alongside a Solid Snake all-over print knit sweater
- A limited series of skateboard decks will be released in blind-bag packaging with special glitter and holographic foil finishes
HUF and Metal Gear Solid have officially joined forces for a Spring/Summer 2026 collection that pays homage to the legendary tactical espionage series. Prioritizing the visual legacy of the franchise’s first three installments, the capsule utilizes original artwork from renowned character designer Yoji Shinkawa. This partnership bridges the gap between heritage gaming culture and modern streetwear, delivering a robust selection of apparel and hardware designed for dedicated collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The collection’s aesthetic is rooted in the early “Legacy Collection” era, reimagining iconic characters and battle sequences through a contemporary lens. Key pieces include heavyweight pullover hoodies and T-shirts adorned with intricate collages of classic gameplay moments. For those seeking a more textured look, a crewneck sweater featuring a repeating Solid Snake motif offers a sophisticated take on pixelated nostalgia. The accessory line is anchored by snapback caps that maintain the tactical aesthetic central to the franchise.
Hardware remains a significant focal point of the drop. HUF has developed a series of collectible skateboard decks that celebrate the evolution of the stealth-action genre. These decks are finished with premium details, including holographic foils and metallic surfaces. To heighten the collectible nature of the release, the boards will be sold in blind bags, ensuring each unboxing mirrors the high-stakes tension of the game’s infiltration missions.
Check out the release above. The Metal Gear Solid x HUF SS26 collection is available now via the HUF webstore and select retailers.
