The Legend Behind the Shirt: AE86 History in Fabric

The AE86—split between the Toyota Sprinter Trueno and Corolla Levin—debuted in the 1980s and became one of the most beloved sports cars of its generation. With its lightweight chassis, rear-wheel-drive setup, and 4A-GE engine, it became the ultimate driver’s car. But it wasn’t until the AE86 gained fame in drift circuits and anime that it achieved god-tier status.

Our shirts capture this legendary journey. From Initial D references to vintage racing liveries and iconic panda color schemes, each design is a tribute to the road that shaped car culture forever.

Here’s why they matter:

  • Perfect Fitment: Styles that suit all body types and look great under jackets, at meets, or in the garage.

The AE86 isn’t about flash. It’s about soul. And these shirts are stitched with it.
