Another of the tournament's most-prized kits, the Japan away shirt is a wonderfully subtle design.
An Adidas logo features without text alongside some patterns and detailing on the sleeves. The body is left a plain, crisp white and there is a ring collar to finish things off. The RadioTimes.com Sport team ranked Japan's shirt selection as their favourite kits of the World Cup.
The home shirt is a little less understated but features another stunning design. The oscillating patterns are designed to recall the Japanese art of origami and the shirt is made using a yarn which is made from 50 per cent recycled ocean plastic.
