Nike seems to be honouring this classic design and it pays off, with the re-issue looking like it came straight out the archive. Whilst many of the retro elements of the shirt have been left untouched, such as the thick 90s-style neckline and embroidered Swoosh and Brazil crest. The most exciting update is the use of Dri-Fit technology, offering additional comfort in contrast to the original

We first got a hint of this potential release when Vinicius Jr. was seeing wearing the 1998 kit in a teaser for Nike Air Max Plus Mercurial Vapour 15’s. It also appears that two versions of the jersey will be released: the classic Nike Brazil 1998 Reissue Jersey, and an EX version, which pays homage to the player of the tournament, Ronaldo, and bears the iconic number 9 on the front and back.

With a rumoured release date set for April 2024, keep up to date by signing up to release alerts here at Bennetts!
