JAPAN SHIRTS
Two Japan shirts, both Adidas, home, and both blank, from the two World Cup cycles either side of the tournament Japan co-hosted with South Korea. Neither carries a nameset, so the shirt itself, and the years printed on the label, is the whole story here.

2002, host nation breakthrough
The 2002-04 shirt is close to the design Japan wore reaching the last sixteen at the 2002 World Cup, held jointly with South Korea, the first time the team had gone past the group stage on the biggest stage in the sport, a defining moment for the decade that followed.
2006, back on the road
The 2006-08 shirt follows into the 2006 World Cup in Germany, where Japan went out in the group stage this time, unable to repeat the run four years earlier. Both shirts are originals from their own seasons, hand-checked for condition, with sizing that runs to the old Adidas labels rather than a modern cut.
