Albino and Preto x NEEDLES® LS Rashguard

The Albino and Preto x NEEDLES® LS Rashguard is part of the collaboration that connects Japanese design language with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu culture. Built in a Phantom Grey color direction with purple artwork, this long sleeve rashguard carries the same visual identity seen across the Albino and Preto x NEEDLES collection, including the AP chest mark, butterfly motif, and sleeve stripe detailing.

The butterfly is one of the strongest design elements in this release. In the NEEDLES world, it has long been associated with transformation, movement, and a distinct fashion identity. In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, the butterfly also connects naturally to adaptability, movement, and evolution on the mat. That shared meaning makes the rashguard more than a simple no-gi top; it becomes a wearable expression of the collaboration’s full design story.

Made with a polyester-spandex blend, the rashguard is designed to balance stretch, comfort, and durability for no-gi training, layering under a kimono, or wearing as part of the wider collection. The front keeps a clean layout with subtle AP and butterfly chest artwork, while the back features a larger butterfly graphic that gives the piece its strongest visual detail.

This rashguard is a strong match for collectors, no-gi practitioners, and anyone who wants a piece from the Albino and Preto x NEEDLES® release that feels functional, minimal, and visually connected to both BJJ and Japanese streetwear culture.
