Japan 1998 Away - RetroJersey

The Rising Sun on the world stage.

The Japan 1998 Away RetroJersey marks the nation’s historic World Cup debut in France ‘98. Worn by legends like Hidetoshi Nakata, Kazuyoshi Miura, and Masashi Nakayama, this kit captured the spirit of a team entering global football for the very first time.

While Japan didn’t advance beyond the group stage, their determination and unique style left a lasting impression. The bold fire-sleeve design over a samurai-inspired deep blue base instantly became an icon — a jersey that embodies ambition, pride, and the dawn of Japan’s football era.
