    "body": "<p>This reissue pays tribute to Belgium&rsquo;s football legacy by bringing an iconic adidas Originals design back to the present for fans of football heritage.</p><p>Designed as an authentic reproduction of the original, the 1986 Belgium home shirt reflects the bold identity of mid-1980s football design. The unmistakable red base is combined with the classic adidas Trefoil logo, Belgian tricolour 3-stripes (black/yellow/red) on the sleeves, and a subtle woven geometric jacquard fabric that adds texture to the shirt. A timeless V-neck collar completes the design, staying true to the original look and feel.</p><h4 id=\"availability\" ><strong>Availability</strong></h4><p>The shirt will be available from Tuesday, 26 May at 10:00 CET via <a href=\"https://www.adidas.be/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">adidas.be</a>, <a href=\"https://shop.rbfa.be/en/?loc=en-GB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
