Product Stats
- Japan's national team was rising quickly in the mid-1990s following the launch of the J.League. After a quarter-final exit at the 1996 Asian Cup, the focus turned to qualifying for the 1998 World Cup. Takeshi Okada replaced Shu Kamo mid-campaign in 1997, and in November Masayuki Okano's golden goal against Iran in Johor Bahru secured Japan's first-ever World Cup place. Hidetoshi Nakata, Kazuyoshi Miura and captain Masami Ihara were key figures of this generation.
- This home shirt is one of the most recognisable Japan designs ever produced, pairing a royal blue body with bold red, white and blue flame graphics on the sleeves. The white polo collar with red V insert and patterned trim adds a classic 1990s touch, while the JFA crest and official uniform hem label give it authentic detail. Its link to Japan's breakthrough qualification has made it a cult favourite worldwide. It appeals to Japan supporters, J.League-era fans, Nakata admirers, adidas enthusiasts and collectors of iconic 1990s international shirts.
