Albino and Preto x NEEDLES Phantom Gi

Albino and Preto x NEEDLES® Phantom Gi

The Albino and Preto x NEEDLES® Phantom Gi brings together Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training culture and Japanese design language in one refined collaboration piece. Finished in a custom Phantom Grey colorway, this gi features plum embroidery, paisley-inspired design influence, and the signature NEEDLES butterfly motif placed throughout the kimono and pants.

The butterfly is more than a visual detail. In NEEDLES design culture, it represents transformation and movement. In Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, it connects naturally with adaptability, evolution, and the constant adjustment required on the mat. That makes this collaboration feel connected to both worlds: fashion with meaning and BJJ gear with purpose.

The gi is built with a 400gsm pearl weave top and 10oz canvas pants, giving the set a structured feel while keeping it practical for training, collection, and lifestyle wear. The pants feature AP FEP full elastic construction, designed for comfort and easier fit adjustment. The jacket includes bold butterfly embroidery, chest symbols, sleeve striping, and interior detailing that make the piece instantly recognizable without losing its clean Phantom color identity.

Each gi also includes a matching knapsack tote bag, continuing the same Phantom Grey design direction and making the full set feel complete. For collectors, practitioners, and fans of Japanese streetwear crossovers, the Albino and Preto x NEEDLES® Phantom Gi is a standout piece that connects craftsmanship, culture, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu identity.
