Neymar’s NJR x JORDAN Collection

I personally don’t watch football (soccer) but I like Neymar Jr.’s style and creativity, there’s just something about him that oozes ‘cool.’ When I found out that Neymar Jr. was collaborating with Jordan Brand, I was so excited, even more so when I found out that the shoes will come down to youth sizing! I need the Jordan V Low!

“Michael Jordan set the standard for greatness,” says Neymar Jr. “He’s an incredible competitor and a champion. I’ve always admired him, so to collaborate with him and have his icon on my boots means a great deal to me.”

The NJR x JORDAN Collection will consists of a Hypervenom football boot which takes inspiration from the Jordan V (Neymar Jr.’s favorite) along with a Neymar edition of the Jordan V Low with “Neymar” stitched inside the tongue. Now, as part of a unique Nike/Jordan collaboration, Neymar Jr. becomes the first football (soccer) athlete to feature the Jumpman on his performance product.

“I’m excited that Neymar and the Jordan Brand are working together,” said Michael Jordan. “I’m a fan of his creativity, style and passion for the game of soccer. He’s a special player and I look forward to this collaboration.”

Neymar Jr. will wear the NJR x JORDAN Hypervenom on-pitch this August when competing for his country. The NJR x JORDAN collection will be available in youth and adult sizes beginning June 1st via the Nike Football App and June 3rd on Nike.com.

In addition to the Hypervenom and Jordan V, the NJR x JORDAN collection includes apparel and a football training shoe. This marks the first time the Jordan Brand has launched a complete collection for an athlete who is not a member of the Jordan Brand.

Neymar Jr.’s Brasil number, 10, appears on the lateral side of the left boot and per Neymar Jr.’s request, the number 23 is on the right boot paying homage to Jordan. Both numbers appear in the respective font of the jerseys worn by the athletes.

Jordan’s iconic cement print is recreated on the soleplate of the Hypervenom, along with the Jumpan logo underfoot. The initials of Neymar Jr.’s son (“DL”) appear on the laces, as does the icon of the Brasil flag.
