Special Düsseldorf Kit Resembles Infamous Japan Fake Kit

The Adidas Düsseldorf 24-25 Daruma kit is predominantly blue with a manga panel design, along with red logos and details.

The design of the Düsseldorf kit is immediately reminiscent of the very famous Japanese 'Manga' concept kit. This fake kit has a beautiful design and its popularity has spread all over the world. It is counterfeited and sold everywhere.

It's hard to tell if Adidas took inspiration from this fake Japan 'Manga' shirt, but either way, Adidas has created a truly fantastic Japanese-inspired Dusseldorf shirt.
