Dress Like Jürgen Klopp
Nike, New Balance and the essential Oakley glasses
October 29th, 2019
After the last FIFA Men's Coach Award ceremony, Jürgen Klopp admitted that he was surprised when Virgil van Dijk in the eve reminded him that he should wear a tuxedo.
Van Dijk himself revealed that he had given the ok to Klopp, after seeing a picture of the suit. Just watching an FC Liverpool match you can understand that the German manager is part of that group of managers who prefer overalls and sneakers to sartorial suits and leather shoes. In a category that includes other managers such as Sarri or Bielsa - who also wore a jog at the Leeds centenary ceremony - Klopp managed to become a point of reference as well for his style.
In the Reds online store, it is possible to buy a collection inspired by those worn by Klopp on the bench, and in the past New Balance entrusted the coach to design a 990V3 sneaker.
There is a parallel between the organization with which his team plays and the apparent lack of interest in style rules, which make Klopp a fascinating and magnetic character. The lack of interest is, in fact, a false myth, in the past, the coach has changed several watch models, as well as types of eyeglasses, from Oakley JUNKYARD, Persol and Ray-Ban Clubmasters, and he has also resorted to hair transplantation in 2012, at the time of Borussia Dortmund.
Preferring the tracksuits of the club, since he has been in the Premier League Klopp almost always wears New Balance items. With the change of sponsor of the Reds, which will move to Nike starting next season, we could see at Anfield new Air Max models, ACG and sleeveless with swoosh in evidence. In the meantime, here is a practical guide to Jürgen Klopp's "normal-one" style, to compare with that of the great rival in Premier Pep Guardiola.
