Which is The Best? Here Are All Japan World Cup Home Kits in History
Nov 14, 2017, by Chris
After we took a detailed look at all Germany World Cup home kits in history, we now put our focus on the World Cup home jerseys of the Japan national football team, the Samurai Blues. However, while it is hard to imagine a World Cup without Japan now, the country managed to qualify for the tournament for the first time just 20 years ago. Since then, however, they have participated in every World Cup.
Japan's 1998 World Cup jersey was the only not made by Adidas, who became Japan's kit supplier in 1999
Japan World Cup Kit History
Here are all World Cup home kits of the Japanese national team (via Mantos do Futebol).
It is hard to say which Adidas Japan World Cup jersey is the most iconic one, even though it is likely their 1998 one featuring the flames design. For us, the most beautiful Japan World Cup shirt is their 2006 World Cup kit, while their other World Cup jerseys are also real beauties.
Which is your favorite Japan World Cup jersey? Do you think there is an Adidas national team that received more beautiful jerseys than Japan in the past few years? Let us know in the comments below.
FIFA Did Not Publish 2026 World Cup Final Matchups Yet
It is just a little more than two days until the 2026 World Cup final and 45 hours until the Third Place match, but FIFA has not yet published the kit matchups for the final two games of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on its official FWC2026 Match Colours Designation page.
It is widely predicted that Spain and Argentina will both wear their home kits, as will England vs France. We might also see special referee kits. Thanks to our partners Jersey Story for the collage.

The t-shirt of the Adidas Flamengo 2026 EQT collection has been leaked by @ofertastorcida. It is white with the block stripes in red and black.
Adidas will release a special 1992 EQT retro range for Flamengo, as shared by specialized club outlet Coluna do Fla.
The Adidas Flamengo 1992 2026 retro collection features a striking vintage tracksuit and matching t-shirts that lean heavily into the club's early history and the bold sportswear aesthetics of the 1990s.
The predominantly red and black pieces prominently feature the classic Adidas Trefoil text logo alongside the historic Flamengo rowing crest, deliberately substituting the modern "CRF" monogram for the club's traditional anchor-and-oars emblem.

Nike Atelier Total 90 Sneaker Leaked
Nike is expanding its bespoke Atelier lifestyle line with a clean White/Game Royal colorway for the Atelier Total 90 Premium.
Following the debut of a black Merc version originally created alongside French football star Désiré Doué, this new edition offers a lighter take on a Total 90 football-meets-lifestyle hybrid.
The upper of the Atelier Merc Total 90 faithfully recreates the iconic shape of the Total 90 Laser 3, crafted entirely from premium white leather with intricate quilted stitching. A standout feature is a classic fold-over tongue, which comes equipped with a practical Velcro closure and is subtly embossed with Nike Atelier branding. Underneath, the Nike Atelier T90 comes with the Cyroshot cover over the studs.
Priced at a luxury-tier $470, the Nike Atelier Total 90 Premium is scheduled for a December2026 release ahead of the 26-27 season. The shoe will be available through select high-end retailers, including Dover Street Market, as well as via Nike SNKRS.
