Japanese streetwear leader WIND AND SEA has officially unveiled an exciting new collaboration with Sony Interactive Entertainment’s iconic rhythm game, PaRappa the Rapper.
Slated for the Spring/Summer 2026 season, the “WIND AND SEA × パラッパラッパー 2026 SS” collection is poised to celebrate one of PlayStation’s most beloved franchises with a range of exclusive apparel and merchandise. The limited-edition collection is scheduled to launch on February 13th and 14th, 2026, in Japan.
Fans will have the chance to shop the highly anticipated release at a dedicated pop-up location within Ikebukuro Parco, a renowned department store in Tokyo.
The pop-up will remain open from February 13th to February 23rd, 2026, offering enthusiasts a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of PaRappa the Rapper.
Additionally, pieces from the collection will be sold in WIND AND SEA’s official stores across Japan, expanding accessibility for fans of both streetwear and video game culture. WIND AND SEA has released preview images showcasing the diverse selection of items featured in the upcoming PaRappa the Rapper collection.
The lineup prominently incorporates fan-favorite characters such as PaRappa, PJ Berri, and Chop Chop Master Onion across a variety of apparel, including t-shirts, pants, hoodies, belts, and hats.
The collection also introduces exclusive merchandise items, like a large throw blanket adorned with official PlayStation artwork from the original PaRappa the Rapper game and specially designed character plushies. The partnership between WIND AND SEA and PaRappa the Rapper reflects an ongoing relationship between the fashion label and Sony’s innovative rhythm franchise.
In September 2024, WIND AND SEA launched a unique three-way crossover called “Beat on the Court,” partnering with the NBA and PaRappa the Rapper.
This special drop featured clothing emblazoned with in-game characters as well as logos from legendary basketball franchises such as the Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics, and Los Angeles Lakers.
Following this, April 2025 saw the release of another collection dedicated solely to PaRappa the Rapper, accompanied by a weeklong pop-up at Shibuya Parco.
A subsequent second release of the NBA collaboration arrived in August 2025, further cementing the synergy between gaming and urban fashion. Reflecting on the enduring character and message of PaRappa the Rapper, WIND AND SEA representatives emphasized the spirit of positivity and perseverance that the game represents.
According to the brand, the new collection is intended to let fans "believe in themselves and express their creativity through iconic designs and nostalgic imagery." Since debuting on the original PlayStation in 1996, PaRappa the Rapper has left an indelible legacy as a pioneer of the rhythm game genre.
Its unique art style, memorable characters, and uplifting themes have influenced generations of gamers and artists worldwide.
The continued partnership with WIND AND SEA not only pays homage to PaRappa’s cultural impact but also demonstrates the enduring appeal of video game crossovers in the landscape of contemporary fashion. With exclusive launches, collectibles, and the vibrant intersection of gaming and streetwear, the WIND AND SEA × PaRappa the Rapper 2026 SS collection is set to be a sought-after highlight for fans and collectors alike when it debuts next February in Tokyo and beyond.
