Neymar Meets Micheal Jordan



Brazilian football star Neymar is working with NBA legend Micheal Jordan and NIKE on a new model of Hypervenom boots.


After winning the double with FC Barcelona and before joining the Brazilian Olympic squad for the game in Rio, Neymar Jr is enjoying a trip to the United States. He made a point of visiting the Citi Field to see baseball’s New York Mets take on the Chicago White Sox, and has also had the chance to meet NBA legend NBA Michael Jordan.

The two share a kind of mutual respect that transcends the boundaries of the languages they speak, the sports they play and the countries they represent. The Barça striker grew up watching Jordan, while the American is a fervent admirer of Neymar’s “creativity, style and passion for soccer. He’s a special player and I’m delighted that the two of us can work together”.

That’s because, in association with NIKE, the duo have joined forces to create a unique model of football boots, the brand new NJR x JORDAN Hypervenom. Thanks to the deal, Neymar Jr is to become the first footballer to use the historic Chicago Bulls number 23 logo on a personal product. “Jordan established what greatness is all about” says the Brazilian. “He’s an incredible competitor and a real champ. I’ve always admired him and it means a lot to me to be able to put his icon on my boots.”

Jordan’s brand is also launching a Neymar edition of his Jordan V Low, with the name "Neymar" sewn on the inside.
