Graniph, the Tokyo-based graphic T-shirt label formally known as Design Tee Store graniph, is bringing Detective Conan back into its collaboration rotation. A new capsule tied to Gosho Aoyama’s long-running detective manga and anime is set to arrive on July 14, 2026, marking the label’s first fresh Conan drop in several years and giving fans of the franchise another entry point into its expansive merchandise ecosystem.

The announcement was first flagged by Japanese shoe and streetwear release-tracking site Fullress, which confirmed the July 14 date and noted that the lineup draws on the series’ most recognizable cast: Conan Edogawa himself, his childhood friend Ran Mouri, the gentleman thief Kaito Kid, and the shadowy Black Organization that drives much of the manga’s overarching mystery. Coverage from Shogakukan’s own Weekly Shonen Sunday editorial account added that the release spans apparel staples including Tee, tote bags, and hoodies, and that it will launch in tandem with a second graniph collide built around Yaiba, another Aoyama-created title getting its own concurrent capsule under the label.

For a brand whose entire identity is built on treating the Tee as a canvas for pop art, comic strips, and now manga IP, a Conan capsule is a low-risk, high-recognition play. Detective Conan is not a niche property in Japan; it is one of the country’s most durable media franchises, still airing new episodes and headlining an annual theatrical release nearly three decades after it began serialization. Pairing that audience with graniph’s design language — clean silhouettes, unisex sizing, playful embroidery, and hidden visual gags worked into the prints — has proven to be a reliable formula for the brand in the past.

Graniph has spent close to two decades building a reputation as one of Japan’s more design-literate apparel labels, positioning its stores less like conventional fast-fashion outlets and more like small galleries where the graphic print is the point rather than an afterthought. That frame matters for how a manga collision like this one gets read by shoppers: rather than a straightforward merchandise cash-in, a graniph tie-in tends to be received by fans as a genuine design exercise, one where the brand’s illustrators and pattern-makers are given real latitude to reinterpret a franchise’s view world rather than simply screen-printing an official key view onto a blank shirt. That distinction has been central to why properties as varied as Ghibli, Peanuts, and now Detective Conan keep returning to the label instead of going through more generic merchandise licensors.

The same July 14 date is also carrying a separate graniph collision built around Yaiba, another long-running Gosho Aoyama title getting a modern anime adaptation under the name “Shin Samurai Legend Yaiba.” Running two Aoyama-adjacent collides on the same release day is a fairly deliberate piece of scheduling: it lets graniph cross-promote to overlapping fan communities in a single campaign window, and it signals that this drop is being treated as a slightly bigger event on the brand’s release calendar than a routine single-property capsule would be. Shoppers primarily interested in the Conan side of the release should still expect Yaiba pieces to appear in the same collide hub and in adjacent retail displays around the same date, which is worth knowing so as not to mistake one capsule’s product photography for the other’s once official assets go live.

firm

As of this writing, the verified details of the July 14 release are limited to the essentials: the date itself, the core cast of characters slated to appear across the designs, the general apparel categories (Tees, tote bags, hoodies), and the fact that it will be sold through graniph’s official online store and, presumably, its physical retail locations in Japan, following the brand’s usual release pattern. Specific design names, full item counts, individual pricing, and store-by-store availability had not been published through official graniph channels at the time of reporting, though the retailer’s collide archive is the definitive place to watch for that information as the date approaches.

That gap is worth flagging plainly rather than papering over. Graniph’s past collision, including its earlier Conan capsule, have historically launched with a fuller press rollout — a dedicated landing page, itemized pricing, and a short explainer video on the brand’s YouTube channel — closer to the release date itself, so additional specifics are likely to surface in the days leading up to July 14. Readers who want the full item list, exact pricing in yen, and in-store stock information should treat graniph’s own collaboration hub as the primary source once it goes live for this drop.

meet

This is not the first time graniph has put Conan Edogawa on a hanger. The two properties previously teamed up for a collaboration that launched on April 6, 2021, a sixteen-piece lineup spanning nine T-shirt designs, a shirt, a dress, and five kids’ T-shirts, all priced accessibly in the 2,750 to 5,500 yen range. That earlier release leaned heavily into the manga’s visual shorthand and fan-favorite continuity references rather than generic character portraits, which is part of why it resonated with the built-in fanbase.

Oversized graphic Tee showcases a playful retro kaiju-inspired design with manga-style artwork, vibrant Japanese typography, and a giant broccoli monster dominating the back print.

Individual designs from 2021 included a skateboard-riding Conan chasing a culprit peeking out from an embroidered pocket, a sleeping Kogoro Mouri paired with an anesthetic wristwatch motif, a Kaito Kid piece hiding a miniature “notice of theft” card inside the pocket, and a Detective Boys design silhouetting the five child-detective characters across the back panel. One particularly beloved item recreated the “Baro” text-message gag from a well-known Shinichi-and-Ran story arc, embroidering a flip-phone directly onto the chest in a design fans singled out as one of the most clever pieces in the drop. The label’s approach across that release was less about slapping a character’s face on a shirt and more about encoding specific plot beats and inside jokes into the garment construction itself — hidden embroidery under a collar, a printed motif that only reads correctly once you know the reference.

That same sensible is presumably the throughline for the new July 14 capsule, even though the specific 2026 designs have not yet been detailed publicly. Given that the confirmed cast for this round includes Conan, Ran, Kaito Kid, and the Black Organization, it’s a reasonable bet that the new lineup will lean on a mix of core-cast pieces and villain-coded designs aimed at the franchise’s substantial fanbase for its central antagonists, though this should be read as informed speculation rather than a confirmed design breakdown until graniph’s own materials are live.

huh

The July 14 drop lands in the middle of what has already been a packed year for Detective Conan’s merchandise and media calendar. The TV anime entered its 30th anniversary year in January 2026, kicking off a “30 Year Project” with a commemorative logo and video, and the franchise’s 29th theatrical film, “Fallen Angel of the Highway,” has been running as one of the year’s bigger domestic box office stories. Alongside the film’s release, Conan has been the subject of an unusually dense run of brand tie-ins in 2026, including collaborations with Workman, Don Quijote, Avail, and fashion retailer Shimamura, as well as a themed cafe and a nationwide stamp rally tied to JR East train lines.

The franchise also marked its anniversary year with a headline-making crossover: Detective Conan creator Gosho Aoyama and My Hero Academia creator Kohei Horikoshi exchanged show of each other’s lead characters to mark both series’ respective milestone anniversaries, a collision that gen significant fan attention when it was announced. Set against that backdrop, a graniph capsule is a comparatively low-key addition to the calendar, but it fits a pattern in which Detective Conan’s rights holders have been unusually active about extending the brand into apparel, food, and lifestyle categories throughout its anniversary year.

Graniph storefront features its signature red branding, graphic apparel displays, and a welcoming retail entrance reflecting the Japanese label’s focus on art-inspired fashion.

Graniph, for its part, has built a steady cadence of manga, anime, and pop-culture collisions well beyond Conan, spanning everything from Ghost in the Shell to Chibi Maruko-chan to McDonald’s-themed nostalgia prints, which gives the brand credible with an audience that treats graphic tees as a genuine collecting category rather than disposable merchandise. A returning Conan license, timed to the franchise’s biggest anniversary push in years, reads as a calculated move to capture attention while the property is unusually visible.

fin

The July 14, 2026 release is confirmed to launch through graniph’s official online store, with the brand’s physical retail locations in Japan the likely secondary channel based on how the label has historically handled past collaboration drops, including the 2021 Conan release and its many other licensed capsules. Graniph does not typically restrict its collaboration releases to online-only sales, so shoppers based in Japan may also find the capsule at flagship and mainline stores on or around the launch date, though exact per-store stock allocation is not something the brand publishes in advance.

International fans have historically been able to access graniph pieces through resale and proxy-shopping channels once a Japan-only release sells through, and secondhand marketplaces tend to pick up Conan-branded graniph pieces relatively quickly given the crossover fanbase between manga collectors and streetwear resellers. As with any Japan-exclusive apparel drop, buyers outside Japan should expect to rely on forwarding services or resale platforms unless graniph’s international shipping options cover the release directly.

Popular collisions from graniph, including its earlier Conan run, have shown a tendency to sell through quickly on the most fan-favorite designs — pieces referencing especially well-loved story arcs or featuring the franchise’s most requested characters — while broader basics like plain logo tees or kids’ sizing tend to restock more readily in the weeks following a launch. If that pattern holds for the July 14 release, shoppers with a specific design in mind, once designs are revealed, may want to plan around the launch date itself rather than waiting, particularly for anything built around Kaito Kid or the Black Organization given how consistently those characters have driven merchandise demand across other 2026 Conan tie-ins. Graniph’s membership program and official app have also historically offered early-access windows or advance notifications ahead of major collaboration launches, which may be worth setting up for anyone specifically chasing this release rather than encountering it after the fact.

None of that changes the more basic point: the concrete specifics of what’s actually printed on these shirts, totes, and hoodies remain the one piece of this story still to be told. Until graniph’s own collide page updates with the full lineup, the safest approach for anyone planning around July 14 is to treat the date and character list as locked in, and everything else — pricing, exact piece count, and individual design concepts — as pending confirmation from the brand itself.
