1. First sketches – From idea to paper, March 2024
Before we even thought about producing the collection, it all started with pen and paper. We chose a classic approach to bring our first ideas to life without pressure. It wasn’t about technical details yet – just pure creativity.
Our goal was to design unique anime characters that people can truly relate to. They should reflect the core values of calisthenics – discipline, focus, and strength. Sketch by sketch, the vision turned into something real.
2. Refining the vision, May 2024
Once we were happy with the sketches, we took the next step and brought everything into digital form. Line by line, the characters evolved. What outlines give off power? What colors create the mood we want? How can we keep the style consistent and still give every character a unique look?
Technical aspects started to play a bigger role, too. We tweaked the colors, shadows, and contrast until the characters felt alive. Slowly, the new collection started to take shape.
3. Test prints & quality check, August 2024
Just like the design, the quality of the Anime Collection had to be on point. As athletes, we know how important a good feel and durable fabric are. The prints need to hold up – even during heavy workouts or weighted sessions with the Dip Belt or a Weight Vest. No compromises.
It took a few rounds to get everything just right – but in the end, we knew: this feels exactly how it should.
4. Athlete & team feedback, November 2024
At GORNATION, we don’t just rely on our own opinion – we wanted to gather as many impressions as possible. That’s why our athletes tested the Anime Collection and shared their honest feedback with us.
Their insights were super helpful. Based on their feedback, we made a few final tweaks – and then the collection was ready for launch.
5. Shooting in Münster, June 2025
Now it was time to bring the Anime Collection to life. The shoot took place in our hometown Münster – at different locations and in different moods. A mix of clean product shots and real training vibes. Inspired by our three core elements: Balance, Control, and Strength.
This shoot wasn’t just about showing the outfits – it was about the lifestyle behind them. Anime meets calisthenics.
6. The final step – Drop goes live, July 2025
After months of hard work, it finally happened: the Anime Collection went live. For us, it marked the end of an intense project – and the launch proved one thing: every step was worth it. Your feedback was overwhelming and blew our expectations away.
Our mission was to create a collection that speaks to everyone in their own way. For some, it’s about memories of their first anime. For others, it stands for discipline and progress. And that’s what makes it so powerful – this collection isn’t just clothing. It’s a feeling.
