Chicago - Goru Kit Pop-Up

The Goru Kit pop-up was one of the best traveling displays I’ve seen in the city! Mitchell and Jeff were very helpful and knowledgeable.

The display featured an impressive range of kits from Japan’s national teams as well as the J.League, but it also clearly had something for everyone.
