Speedo teams up with Kirby for some amazing crossover merchandise

I can’t believe I’m about to type this sentence, but Speedo has teamed up with Kirby to create a line of merchandise that fans can buy and wear. Yes, you can now buy and wear a Kirby Speedo swimsuit to the gym if you want everyone to stare at you in awe. Just look at the model showing off the box briefs! He’s so happy!

Currently available for pre-order with an expected shipping date of February 2026, the Kirby x Speedo line of merch includes a mesh cap, a knapsack, a waterproof bag, a sports towel, and then various different pieces of underwear and swimwear. I’m very surprised there isn’t a male speedo swimsuit, but ladies love Kirby, so the one-pieces will have to do. The men’s briefs, boxers, and boxer briefs are pretty nice looking though.

All of this merch is available in Japan, so you’ll need to deal with import fees if you want to buy them. The prices are maybe a bit much as I wouldn’t expect anyone to pay $90+ for a swimsuit. $20-ish for a hat seems appropriate, at least. If you want to get in on this, the pre-order period will run until January 26th, 2026, at 11:59 JST.
