We're very happy to announce the arrival of the new Korea-Japan '02 glove line in honor of the 2002 World Cup, which gave us so many great and iconic moments. This new line includes two iconic models from the brand: Tokyo '2 Pro and Seoul '02 Pro.
The 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan is one of the great World Cups in history that leaves us with great historical memories such as Ronaldo's transgressive haircut or the "suspicious" refereeing that Spain received against the host, Korea.
En Tokyo (Yokohama International Stadium), one of Japan's venues, Group E, Group G and Group H matches were played; Japan vs Russia with a local victory being the most notable match. In this scenario, the grand final of the tournament was played between Germany and Brazil, a match that ended with the victory of the "Canarinha" by 0-2. In that final, Oliver Khan, Germany's goalkeeper, made a mistake in a block that allowed Ronaldo to score the first goal of the final. You know, the goalkeeper must live with the error.
The Seoul It pays homage to the Seoul World Cup Stadium, one of Korea's main venues for the World Cup. This stadium hosted matches from Group A, Group C, and the semi-final between Germany and the tournament's big surprise—the hosts: South Korea.
