NivelCrack and PUMA create a special kit for the Pohang Steelers "The hotter the fire, the stronger the steel"

The Pohang Steelers are releasing a special kit and collection created in collaboration with NivelCrack and PUMA. The Pohang Steelers are the oldest professional football club in South Korea, founded and owned by POSCO, a steel manufacturer based in Pohang. The collection draws inspiration from the club's iconic slogan, "The hotter the fire, the stronger the steel." Although the slogan doesn’t appear directly on the T-shirts, tracksuits, or training equipment, the design reflects the club's identity and heritage. The jersey features an elegant color scheme, with a steel-inspired gray gradient combined with the club's traditional red and black colors. Silver logos evoke a metallic texture, while a NivelCrack label on the lower part adds a special detail to the shirt. On November 2, the Pohang Steelers will take the field for their K League match against FC Seoul, wearing the tracksuit pre-match and the jersey for the ninety minutes.

We’re now accustomed to the incredible projects by the Korean studio; even nss sports collaborated with NivelCrack this past summer to create a football jersey. Called CiaoItalia, this jersey is a new fusion of fashion and football inspired by the kit worn by the Italian National Team during the 2002 World Cup.

The collection will be released on October 29th on PUMA Korea and the club’s online store. A pop-up store will be held at Cafe NivelCrack on November 2nd to celebrate the collection.
