Ah the World Cup. Despite it's controversies of late and the fact we should probably be enjoying one about now, it's a tournament unlike any other. A footballing event that spans generations and decades of die hard fans, passing spectators and just about everyone when your country's playing. World Cups tend to really capture the imaginations and can often be someones first glimpse into the beautiful game, with kits, goals, stadiums and matches living long in the memory.
1982 proved to be no different. A tournament that seemed to tick all the boxes. Exotic sun soaked location, tick. A bevy of talent assembled from across the globe, tick. A menagerie of coloUrful kits each imbued with the hopes of a nation, tick. That's before you even get to the events that unfolded at the tournament itself. It's little surprise that Le Coq Sportif decided to pay homage to the memorable feast of football on it's 40th anniversary. Le Coq Sportif honour the '82 champs Italy with a capsule drop consisting of two tee's (home & away, of course) as well as a Italia colourway of their much loved R1000 running sneaker.
