For thirty years, this franchise has become a cultural phenomenon, with impact across fashion, music, and culture. Connecting to Lee®, one of the world’s most iconic apparel brands, is a natural fit.

This capsule takes a fun approach to blend authentic nostalgia with trend. We’re excited to introduce it to fans of yesterday and today,” said Joe Broyles, global vice president of collaborations, Lee®.

The collection focuses on tops and tees with select shorts and a knit dress for women. Styles are in men’s, women’s, and unisex sizes. Bright colors and Dragon Ball Z characters and logos adorn each piece.
