Naruto Shippuden Akatsuki II collection launches this week
Team Liquid's second Naruto Shippuden Akatsuki collection launches on October 23, with a first look at its black-and-red streetwear.
Team Liquid is bringing back its Naruto Shippuden collaboration with a second Akatsuki collection, launching on Friday, October 23. The esports organisation announced the drop on its official social channels, but it has not yet published a complete product list, prices or an exact launch time.12
What Team Liquid has announced
The new line is officially called the Team Liquid x Naruto Shippuden Akatsuki II collection. Team Liquid's announcement describes it as the second iteration of the partnership, while a follow-up teaser uses the line “Built to withstand the heavy rain and the flames of hatred.”12
The promotional images show a black-and-red racing-style jacket carrying the Akatsuki's red-cloud emblem, Team Liquid branding and additional sponsor marks. Other campaign shots show black T-shirts, a white hoodie and black shorts, although the full range has not been detailed yet. Team Liquid has directed fans towards its apparel channels ahead of Friday's launch.2
What we know about the collaboration
This is a return for a partnership that previously produced a Naruto Shippuden collection in 2021. Team Liquid's earlier Akatsuki range included custom-cut streetwear and accessories, including an Itachi packable tech jacket, an Akatsuki cloud pullover hoodie and a Zetsu long-sleeve shirt, according to the retailer's own product and collection pages.3
The new announcement is therefore more than a routine restock: it is a fresh collection built around the Akatsuki's visual identity, with the first revealed jacket leaning into racing apparel rather than the group's traditional cloak design. Pricing and availability remain unconfirmed until Team Liquid updates its store or social channels.
Our opinion
The useful part of this announcement is the timing and the clear first look, rather than speculation about an unrevealed product list. Team Liquid has shown enough of the Akatsuki II range for fans to understand its direction, while keeping the details that affect a purchase — price, stock and launch time — open. That makes Friday's store update the meaningful next step, not the fan guesses filling the gap beforehand.
