South Korea are kitted out for the summer as Nike launch their home and away shirts to be worn at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Clean in red and stylish in white, it's a smart pairing accompanied by complementing lifestyle pieces.

The most notable design element of the new South Korea home and away kits is a simplified black and white crest designed to imbue a sharp, contemporary feel. The home shirt takes on the cleanest aesthetic that we've seen from the current crop of Nike 2018 international shirts, but the away shirt dances with a more daring design.

Inspired by the Korean flag, the 2018 South Korea away shirt is adorned with a custom Tae Geuk wave pattern that represents the global influence of South Korea. The new black crest is joined by black numbers and a black Swoosh to complete the colours from the flag. Smart. The clothing collection ain't too shabby either. 

South Korea will wear their new home and away shirts for the first time this weekend when they travel to Northern Ireland on Saturday, before a trip to Poland on March 27. Sweden, Mexico and Germany await in a daunting Group F in June.
