The Springboks start their 2019 Rugby World Cup campaign against New Zealand on September 21.
"It's a momentous year as the Springboks aim to win our third World Cup in Japan," said SA Rugby CEO Jurie Roux in a statement.
"Every little detail counts and that includes all the focus and effort put in by ASICS into making this the most advanced jersey for the Boks to wear in Japan and support them in their quest to reach their goal."
Meanwhile, ASICS launched an all-new brand film, "What is the difference?", which offers an inside-look into the dedication, sacrifice and focus it requires for a professional rugby player to be selected to represent his country on the biggest stage that rugby has to offer.
This one, your one, my one.
