The Founders Edition is more than a gi, it is a marker in time.

Created to honour the very beginning of Armada Kimonos, this release is limited to only 50 kimonos worldwide, each named and individually numbered. No re-runs. No restocks. Once they’re gone, this chapter closes.

Designed in Aotearoa and built for those who believed before the wave broke, the Founders Edition blends performance, durability, and storytelling. Every stitch, panel, and detail reflects the values Armada was built on: discipline, craftsmanship, and respect for the art.

This is not just gear you train in, it’s armour that represents your place in the Armada legacy.
