    Replicas in general have a bit of a baggier look and are slightly heavier as opposed to player issue as well as the fit itself, which is one of the key indications to differentiate the two, but over the years replicas started having a bit of a tighter fit and a slightly aerodynamic look than replicas that were produced pre 2006-2008, the same applies for the current Nike Korea replica kits, although the curve on the sides are slightly noticeable as opposed to player issue.

    You're both right, just getting mixed up with each other because you're using different interpretations of 'replica' and 'authentic'. I'm sure BSK's king of kits @Seol Korea knows this already, though.
    • Replica (fake Chinese / Thai knockoff) vs Authentic (genuine Nike product)

    • Replica (genuine Nike kit with a baggier, standard fit; AKA Stadium or fan-version kits; this is what's in stores now) vs Authentic (genuine, player-cut Nike kit with slim fit and different materials, among other differences). The current Stadium kits are slimmer than ones released in previous years.

    • Replica (broader term encompassing all genuine, non-match prepared / worn kits) vs Authentic (kits prepared for / worn in actual matches) -- this interpretation is more common in Korea.

    It's the term "slim-fit" that caused a confusion in which I do apologize since I am using it as the overall feature instead of what is printed on the tag/kit. BENJMNS does understand very well of the difference between two versions, I am merely pointing out that Nike's replica kits have gone to slimmer side due to their main technology of that being "Cooling" and "Lightweight".

    If you are meaning the black and volt ones, yes they are available at Nike stores in Korea or you can get it online on the Nike Korea website and have it sent via a friend or relative in Seoul (assuming you are not in Korea). They are really nice in person. No KT logo however.

    You should be ok. The Nike stores in Gangnam and Myeong-dong still have them in all sizes as of a few days ago.

    No KT logo is a plus in my book. I might go to Korea in Seoul but it'll probably be sold out by then :cry:

    Does anyone know where I can get the 2016 home jerseys in Korea? I bought one as a souvenir a few years back that doesn't fit me anymore so I'm looking to replace it.

    Just got my jersey from the 강남 store. I went with my Korean name spelled out, not in the format of our players as my Korean initials + last name could be interpreted as an acronym for a sexual activity. My friends would destroy me.

    I asked if I could get “STY Byung Shin” but they said space was limited.

    alrite so here it is in person ... just for ref. im 6’ and generally go between m n L’s depending on fit. I like loose, the ‘10 away shirt was nice, so I got an L

    I like the feel of the shirt - it’s hefty, but not heavy. Smoother than the ‘12, and definitely not slim fit like our ‘08. My preferred fit

    upload_2018-6-8_15-1-35.jpeg

    First thing i gotta say is that the design ... aint as impressive in person, imo. Like, good idea - poor execution. There should be less spaces between the lines or more lines / thinner lines. It’s kinda tacky but not the end of the world. ima still rock it this summer - the colors are nice and bright.

    upload_2018-6-8_15-1-47.jpeg

    side profile - loose fit. Pardon the chest-puffing, tryna mask my shit posture

    upload_2018-6-8_15-2-1.jpeg

    ref for those who remember our ‘10 back when @poebae hooked it up. You can see it’s clearly larger

    Shame i forgot to take detail shots. The red/blue from the taegukgi at the tip of the neck is the nicest touch

    I ordered an M, and if it fits better ima return the L. Just fyi for all yall folks

    Don’t worry dude. Ain’t no chest we noticing.

    Like the guy kindly demonstrated the latest shirt is no where near their slim fit template. It’s na early 2000s style regular cut. Nike mailed it in by not offering all nations the vaporknit cut. I have worn mine a couple of times and will collect dust post wc18.

    Even more so considering Germany will be wearing a colored shirt instead of their traditional white versus our red. I don't see how we can't wear red versus yellow if we can wear red versus teal or whatever that color is.

    Thanks for the size comparison to 2010 as it will help me out ordering from the US.

    Just ordered mine today they are discounting them here in a Uk online store got mine for £45 equivalent to $60. Nike charging £75 $100 on their website not worth it at that price. I got the home kit but don’t like the design too plain doesn’t stand out but for £45 I will take one. Really disappointed in the kit no effort gone into it at all.
