At an Adidas event in Tokyo this evening, the All Blacks modelled the new kit, which they'll wear against Japan this Saturday, and throughout this year's end of year tour.
Adidas vice-president James Foster spoke about the design process for the jersey, with the seamless woven technology making it an industry first.
"We're proud to deliver industry firsts, especially creating a fully automated, lightweight design for the All Blacks," Foster said.
"We continue to strive for a fit that mirrors a 'second skin', suitable for all athletes across the field. We have undergone rigorous fit and performance testing with key athletes over the last 18 months and we are confident that this release will deliver the best performance yet," he added.
"There's no doubt that the topic on everyone's mind will be the return of the white collar. We worked very closely with the players and New Zealand Rugby to reintroduce a well-respected and traditional element of the jersey. We're really happy with it and hope All Blacks supporters are too."
Fans can get a hold of the jersey from November 1.
