Picture day, but make it the music kids. Champion just rolled out Class of 2026, a campaign that pulls the brand’s collegiate DNA into a fictional high school for a new generation — less yearbook cliché, more the artists, skaters, and stereo kids who actually lived in Reverse Weave.

Chapter one is titled “Future Memories.” The story sits inside Champion’s made-up campus on picture day, with 90s teen-movie energy shaping the groups and the locker-room hangouts. Campaign frames put oversized hoodies, washed jerseys, textured knit, and archive-minded fleece on-model across teal sets and real school bathrooms — the clothes look worn-in on purpose.

The collection leans on late-90s and early-2000s Champion archive cues: bigger sweatshirt and fleece shapes, earthy neutrals with hits of green and pastel yellow, and looser layering that reads dorm-to-street rather than gym-only. It’s a brand campaign first — the silhouette story is the point, not a single SKU drop.
