In short
The Demon Slayer sportswear range comes down to five families: football shirts from €24.90 to €39.90, compression tops from €39.90 to €54.90, two-in-one shorts from €39.90 to €54.90, mesh shorts from €39.90, and swimwear from €29.90 to €69.90. Sizes go down to 90 cm for children and up to 6XL, and several listings give a weight guide in kilos that is more reliable than the letter.
Contents
The Demon Slayer sportswear range serves two distinct uses. The gym or the pitch on one side, the beach and the pool on the other.
Some fifty products share five families. Prices run from €24.90 to €69.90, with a large cluster around €40.
This guide gives you the materials, cuts and sizes, and what you need to check before ordering a technical garment.
The range’s five families
| Family | Price | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Football shirt | €24.90 to €39.90 | pitch, team sports |
| Compression top | €39.90 to €54.90 | gym, weight training |
| Two-in-one shorts | €39.90 to €54.90 | running, gym |
| Mesh shorts | From €39.90 | training, indoor sports |
| Swimwear | €29.90 to €69.90 | beach, pool |
Materials divide the range better than prices. Breathable jersey for football, compression fabric for the gym, mesh for indoors, swim fabric for the water.
Two-in-one is the most common shorts format. An integrated lining under the outer layer, which saves you a separate pair of cycling shorts.
The sizes cover a wide range. From 90 cm for children to 6XL for adults depending on the family, sometimes with a weight guide in kilos.
You can browse the range from the shop’s sports section, and the guides and tips page brings together the other ranges.
The two halves are separate. The sports shorts section and the swimwear section do not cover the same uses.
The five families overlap little. A swimsuit does not replace gym shorts, and it is the use that determines the family before the price or the character.
Material before pattern
Jersey, compression, mesh or swim fabric. The fabric decides the use long before the character.
Prices in the Demon Slayer sportswear range sit between two limits: €24.90 for the cheapest football shirt, €69.90 for the ruffled one-piece, and most of the range between €39.90 and €49.90.
Football shirts
The Demon Slayer football shirt borrows the codes of the club shirt. A number on the back, a loose cut, breathable jersey, and the character treated as a player.
The number is part of the design. Some listings offer a choice between two numbers on the same character, which changes the back of the shirt.
The jersey shirt with a choice of nine characters covers both sides, from Obanai to Akaza, in a unisex oversized cut.
The sizes go very small. Ninety centimetres on several products, which makes it the range most accessible to children.
Jersey dries fast. An open, light knit that wicks away sweat better than cotton, which is the material’s whole point.
The use goes beyond the pitch. You can also wear these shirts as a loose t-shirt, which the oversized cut allows without difficulty.
Prices start at €24.90. It is the entry point to the Demon Slayer sportswear range, for children and adults alike.
Open-knit jersey
A light knit that wicks away sweat, a far cry from cotton.
Number on the back
Part of the design, sometimes with a choice between two numbers.
From 90 cm to 6XL
The widest size range in the section, children included.
The number gives a team look. Muzan wears number 1, and several shirts worn together are enough to make up a team among friends.
The oversized cut does not suit everything. It flaps on a windy pitch and gets in the way at the gym, whereas it works well as everyday wear.
The colours follow the characters. Each shirt takes up its wearer’s palette, which gives a readable set when several end up on the same pitch.
The collar and finishes stay simple. A round or V neck depending on the product, with no buttons, which brings these shirts close to a loose t-shirt.
One shirt, one number
The number on the back is part of the design. You sometimes choose it in the selector.
Five shirts make up the family. Muzan, Nezuko, Akaza, Tanjiro’s chequered pattern and the nine-character jersey, from €24.90 to €39.90 depending on size, the widest listing going up to seventeen sizes.
The nine-character jersey covers both sides, from Obanai to Akaza, and our page about the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps presents the swordsmen in the set.
Jersey shirt, 9 characters
Jersey-style V neck, oversized cut, all-over print, nine characters to choose from, from 90 cm to 6XL.
View the product · from €24.90Compression tops
Demon Slayer compression wear is close-fitting by design. A stretchy fabric that supports the muscles, short sleeves, a print on the front and the back.
The quick-dry Akaza compression top comes in four colours, the usual shades of technical wear.
The patterns stay typographic on part of the range. Kanji, the series’ title, lined-up names, rather than colour portraits.
Quick drying is the real selling point. A few hours are enough, compared with a whole night for a cotton of the same thickness.
Choose the size to your real measurements. A compression top taken a size up loses its function and becomes a simple synthetic t-shirt.
It can be worn on its own or as a base layer. You can also wear it under a loose t-shirt, which hides the back print but keeps the support.
Short sleeves dominate the range. Only one long-sleeved model exists, at €49.90, which limits the choice in cold weather.
The back often carries more than the front. A list of names, a large title, kanji: it is the side the rest of the gym sees.
Never a size up
Compression relies on contact with the skin. If you go large, the garment loses all its point.
Try the fit on unboxing. A top that is too tight across the shoulders is felt straight away, and can be exchanged before it has been worn.
Black dominates this family. It hides sweat better than light grey, which is why it comes back on almost every product.
Prices are staggered as follows: €39.90 for the listing with seven patterns, €49.90 for those with typographic patterns, €49.90 for the long-sleeved version, €54.90 for the quick-dry Akaza.
The marks on the chest are Akaza’s, whose origin the story of Akaza and Hakuji explains, and our page on the demons of Demon Slayer and the Twelve Kizuki places him among the Moons.
Akaza compression top
Quick-dry knit, raglan sleeves, Akaza’s marks on the chest, full-length character on the back.
View the product · €54.90Two-in-one shorts
Two-in-one dominates the Demon Slayer shorts range. A loose outer layer and an integrated lining underneath, sewn together.
The gain is practical. No separate cycling shorts to pull on, no chafing between the thighs, and only one garment to wash.
The Kokushibo two-in-one running shorts come in six patterns and give their sizes in kilos, from M for 50 to 55 kg to XXXL for 85 to 95 kg.
The weight guide is more reliable. It takes build into account, which a letter does not do on a sports garment fitted at the waist.
The colours stay sober, and on the Kokushibo shorts, it is the compression undershorts that carry the six eyes.
Prices range from €39.90 to €54.90, depending on the model and the options in the selector.
The length varies by several centimetres. Running shorts stop higher than gym shorts, and the listing gives the measurement when there is one.
The lining is sewn in
Two-in-one integrates the cycling shorts. Only one garment to pull on and to wash.
Pockets vary from one product to another, and the listing describes them, which matters if you run with a phone.
Five products use this construction. Akaza, Nezuko, Kokushibo, the Mitsuri and Shinobu duo, plus a model with three patterns, between €39.90 and €49.90 depending on length and pockets.
The six eyes on the undershorts belong to Upper Moon One, told in the portrait of Kokushibo, Upper Moon One.
Kokushibo shorts, 6 patterns
Outer layer, printed compression undershorts, elasticated drawstring waist, sizes given in kilos.
View the product · €49.90Mesh shorts
A Demon Slayer family from €39.90. Open knit, loose cut, elasticated waist, for indoor use.
Mesh breathes more than jersey. The holes in the knit let air through continuously, which suits a heated sports hall.
The patterns take up the fabrics. Pink scales for Nezuko, purple hexagons for Kokushibo, stripes and a serpent for Obanai, red cubes for Tomioka.
Sizes run from XXS to 6XL, in eleven steps, on a garment whose elasticated waist forgives a small difference.
Mesh is see-through. The open knit requires a lining or suitable underwear, and the listing states what is provided.
They are the lightest shorts in the range. They can be balled up in a sports bag without taking up room.
The elasticated waist is sometimes backed up by a drawstring. It lets you tighten beyond the elastic, which matters for shorts worn running rather than at the gym.
Eight characters feature in this range. Tanjiro, Nezuko, Zenitsu, Giyu, Obanai, Rengoku, Tengen and Kokushibo, each reduced to their pattern.
The knit lets air through
Mesh breathes better than jersey. It also lets the eye through: check the listing.
The patterns stay geometric. Scales, hexagons, stripes and cubes read as sportswear prints rather than as series artwork.
The range has twelve products at a single price. Eight bear a name, from Tanjiro to Kokushibo, and four stick to a pattern without a character: flames, red eyes, clouds or a wave.
Swimwear
Demon Slayer swimwear covers every cut. Swim shorts, board shorts, one-piece, two-piece, tie bikini and high-waisted.
The register differs from the rest of the range. These pieces take up a character’s fabric rather than their face, which completely changes the result.
The two-piece with a racerback crop top at €29.90 comes in five characters, each represented by their haori rather than their portrait.
The bikini with a tie top and adjustable side ties at €44.90 takes the logic further, with five fabrics to choose from.
The cuts move up the range. High-waisted with a matching sarong at €64.90, a ruffled one-piece at €69.90, the top of the Demon Slayer sportswear range.
Swim shorts start at €39.90. From 100 cm for children to adult sizes in kilos, they fit the whole family.
The beach cover-up completes the outfit. An open chiffon wrap at €54.90 or €79.90, worn over the swimsuit without replacing it.
The fabric rather than the face
Most take up the haori, without a portrait.
Six cuts
Shorts, board shorts, one-piece, two-piece, bikini and high-waisted.
€29.90 to €69.90
The difference comes down to the cut and the pieces included, sarong included.
Mesh and swim shorts overlap in this section. The twelve open-knit shorts from €39.90 are as much swimwear as gym wear, and it is the lining stated on the listing that decides.
This two-piece takes up the haori each character wears over their outfit, as our article on the demon slayers’ uniform explains.
2-piece swimsuit, 5 characters
Racerback crop top and matching shorts, five haori to choose from, from Nezuko to Tomioka, from S to XXXL.

Which outfit for which sport?
The gym calls for compression and two-in-one shorts. Support on top, integrated lining below, and two pieces that dry within the day.
Running calls for lightness. Two-in-one running shorts and an open-knit shirt, the most breathable combination in the Demon Slayer range.
Team sports mean the football shirt. A loose cut, a number on the back, and sizes that go down to 90 cm for a children’s team.
Indoor sports make do with mesh. Open-knit shorts and a loose t-shirt are enough in a heated hall, without expensive technical wear.
The pool requires swimwear. It is the only family in the range designed for water, and ordinary sports shorts are ruined there within a few sessions.
The socks in the catalogue and the shop’s caps complete an outfit without weighing on the budget.
Top and bottom do not need to match. The sportswear range stays sober in colour, and a black top goes with any pair of shorts in the range.
One material per use
Compression for the gym, mesh for indoors, jersey for the pitch, swim fabric for the water.
How to read the sizes?
Three systems overlap. Centimetres for children, letters for adults, and a weight guide in kilos on shorts and swimwear.
The weight guide takes priority when there is one. An M for 50 to 55 kg is better than an M alone on a garment that has to fit at the waist.
Children’s sizes run from 90 to 160 cm. One step every ten centimetres, based on the child’s height.
The range is wider than in the clothing section. From XXS to 6XL depending on the product, which is rare for technical wear.
Compression should be bought snug. It is the only family in the range where one size’s difference changes the garment’s function.
The rest is more forgiving. Football shirts, mesh shorts and swimwear tolerate one size’s difference with no visible consequence.
The swimsuit lining matters. Several products in the Demon Slayer range include one, which prevents see-through fabric once wet.
Kilos before the letter
When the listing gives a weight range, follow it. The letter alone is misleading.
Materials and care
Almost all Demon Slayer sportswear is synthetic, the Akaza shorts in a cotton blend being the exception, and that is what lets it dry quickly.
Wash at thirty degrees. Inside out, without fabric softener, which clogs the fibres and stops sweat being wicked away.
Forget the tumble dryer. Hot air stretches the elastane and a compression top never regains its support.
Sportswear should be washed promptly. Left wet in a bag, technical fabrics pick up a smell that washing never fully removes.
Chlorine attacks swimwear. Rinse it in clean water after every swim to make it last longer.
So do salt and sand. Same rule after the beach, paying particular attention to the seams and side ties.
Washing separately is better. Technical fabrics pick up lint from thick cotton, which clogs the knit as surely as fabric softener.
Dry in the open air. On a hanger, in the shade, away from a radiator that would cook the elastane as surely as a tumble dryer.
Rinse straight away
Chlorine, salt and sweat damage technical fibres. Rinsing immediately makes all the difference.
What mistakes should you avoid?
The first is buying a compression top a size up. It becomes a synthetic t-shirt and loses its support.
The second is using fabric softener. It clogs the knit and removes the very property that justifies the garment’s price.
The third is ignoring the weight guide in kilos. When the listing gives it, it takes priority, and it often surprises.
The fourth is buying mesh shorts without checking the lining. The open knit lets the eye through.
The fifth is leaving a wet swimsuit in a bag. The smell sets in within a day and never goes away.
The sixth is confusing a football shirt with a sports t-shirt. The first is cut loose for play, not for the gym.
The seventh is buying swimwear by the letter alone. Several products give sizes in kilos, and a swimwear cut is far less forgiving than a t-shirt.
No fabric softener
It clogs the technical fibre and cancels out the wicking. It is the most common mistake in this section.
What budget for a sports outfit?
Under €30, the football shirt, from €24.90, and the basic swimsuit, at €29.90, open the range.
Between €35 and €55, the bulk of the offer. Compression top, two-in-one shorts and mesh shorts all fit in this bracket.
Higher up the range, the more elaborate cuts. Running shorts at €49.90, a high-waisted swimsuit at €64.90, a ruffled one-piece at €69.90.
A complete gym outfit starts at €79.80. A compression top and two-in-one shorts cover top and bottom.
The price brackets are grouped separately. The selection between €20 and €40 and the selection between €40 and €70 cover the whole catalogue.
