Edwin announced that the El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron collaboration jeans will return in 2024. The brand has also opened online pre-orders for the jeans exclusively on the Edwin Mall website.
The promotional notes mentioned that these jeans were made in 360,000 BC, but the items were first spotted in the real world in 2011 AD. The collaboration will make its return to help celebrate the release of the game’s Nintendo Switch version on April 28, 2024.
The Revival Second Editions will retain the designs from the original models with improved labels and materials at ¥23,100 (~$147). Edwin will also release new Great War Editions that omit details like the Cinch Belt and the Suspender Button. The new jeans will also cost less at ¥19,800 (~$126).
Each purchase will come with a leather tag that features the same illustration as the jeans’ patch. The brand will also add a storybook as another bonus. El Shaddai‘s creator Sawaki Takeyasu made all of the illustrations in this collaboration.
Edwin will close the pre-order window for the El Shaddai jeans on June 3, 2024. The brand will ship the finished products in mid-October 2024. Crim will also let people try the jeans at Crimmore in West Shinjuku on April 26-29, 2024, and May 1-6, 2024.
