KIDILL and Umbro Build A Tarot Deck Out Of Sportswear Hardware

KIDILL’s tarot-inspired ‘Heaven’ collection opens with a £1,430 Umbro tracksuit built around more than 40 adjusters.

A tracksuit with a hood that reaches the waist and more than 40 separate points of adjustment is not, on paper, an obvious follow-up to a football jersey. But that’s exactly what KIDILL and Umbro have built for the opening piece of KIDILL’s Fall/Winter 2026 “Heaven” collection, a unisex track jacket and pant set called the Wizard Tracksuit, priced at £1,430 and built entirely around the idea that a garment’s shape shouldn’t be fixed once it leaves the factory.

KIDILL and Umbro aren’t strangers to each other. The two first link up for Spring/Summer 2025 with the Bunny Track Jacket, a smaller-scale collide that test how far Umbro’s sportswear patterning could bend under KIDILL’s punk-leaning construction. The Wizard Tracksuit is the second chapter, and it arrives with considerably more ambition, both in scale and in how deliberate it’s tied to KIDILL’s wider seasonal nar.

The pairing makes sense on paper for reasons beyond a shared back catalogue. Founded in Tokyo in 2014 by designer Hiroaki Sueyasu, KIDILL has spent a decade building a reputation around hardcore punk, grunge, and Harajuku streetwear filtered through tailoring techniques, picking up the Tokyo Fashion Award in 2021 along the way and moving its runway presentations to Paris in recent seasons. Umbro, for its part, has spent the past several years rebuilding itself around exactly the kind of nostalgia-driven football culture that has since folded into the Blokecore movement, a style built on vintage kits, terrace-era track tops, and the kind of unpretentious sportswear Umbro spent much of the 20th century manufacturing for English clubs. One brand is chasing subculture rebellion through tailoring, the other through terrace history, and the Wizard Tracksuit is where those two chase sequences intersect.

The set’s defining feature is mechanical rather than decorative. Both the jacket and the trousers are fitted with over 40 individual adjusters running along their seams, and cinching or loosening them lets the wearer reshape the outline of each piece rather than simply resize it. It’s a modular approach to a tracksuit that keeps the functional bones of Umbro’s sportswear patterning intact while treating the finished silhouette as something the wearer builds themselves, piece by piece, rather than receives fixed off the rack.

The clearest expression of that idea is the jacket’s hood, which extends down to waist length, an exaggerated, robe-like shape that gives the set its name and reads less like technical outerwear detailing and more like something borrowed from a sorcerer’s costume. Where a standard track jacket hood exists purely to cover the head in bad weather, this one becomes a design statement in its own right, oversized enough that it changes how the whole jacket sits on the body before a single adjuster has been touched.

The Wizard Tracksuit isn’t a standalone novelty piece. It’s the first item revealed from KIDILL’s “Heaven” collection, a Fall/Winter 2026 line built around tarot cards, mysticism, and occult symbolism, themes that have become a recurring well for Sueyasu across recent seasons alongside horror movies, 80s subculture, and psychedelia. Tarot in particular offers a wide vocabulary to design around: archetypes, fate, symbolism, and above all transformation, the idea that a single card, or a single garment, can represent multiple possible states depending on how it’s read, or in this case, how it’s adjusted.

That’s what gives the tracksuit’s engineer more depth than a simple gimmick. The garment’s central idea, that its shape is never fixed and can move through dozens of configurations, maps directly onto tarot’s own preoccupation with changing states and open-ended fate. KIDILL isn’t disguising a conventional football tracksuit under an occult print; it’s using an established Umbro category as the physical form for a concept the rest of Heaven is expected to carry through in different ways.

What makes the merge work, rather than reading as two logos stitched onto one garment, is that neither brand is asked to abandon what it does well. Umbro supplies the performance framework, the base patterning and construction language of a genuine tracksuit rather than a fashion approximation of one. KIDILL layers its own attitude on top of that base without hiding the sportswear underneath it, keeping the collect legible as an Umbro product even as it pushes the silhouette somewhere Umbro would never take it alone.

That’s also where the Wizard Tracksuit sits at an angle to Blokecore itself. Blokecore’s appeal has generally rested on authenticity: real vintage kits, real terrace history, unbrand functional treatment as a style statement. The Wizard Tracksuit takes Umbro’s sportswear DNA and pushes it toward something closer to a costume, exaggerated, adjustable, and explicit concept, which puts it in conversation with Blokecore’s source material without behaving like a Blokecore piece itself. It’s less a garment for the terraces and more an argument about how much a football-shaped foundation can be reshaped before it stops being recognizable as one.

The Wizard Tracksuit is priced at £1,430 for the set, a premium figure for a tracksuit even by collaboration standards, though one that reflects the piece’s hardware-heavy construction and its position as Heaven’s opening statement rather than a mid-season restock. It’s available in four colorways, black, pink, blue, and grey, a spread wide enough to move between the collection’s more severe black option and considerable louder pink and blue versions without losing the shared outline underneath.

The set is stocked through KIDILL’s own KIDILL ROOM as well as a select group of KIDILL’s retail partners, continuing the brand’s pattern of keeping its collisions concentrated rather than chasing wide distribution. Given the Wizard Tracksuit’s role as the first piece reveal from Heaven, expect the rest of the collection, and whatever else KIDILL folds into its tarot framing this season, to follow through KIDILL’s usual channels in the lead-up to its full runway presentation.
