NJR x JORDAN COLLECTION
NJR x #jordan COLLECTION
Michael #jordan and #neymarjr. share a mutual respect that transcends sports, countries, and languages. #neymarjr. grew up a fan of the man and the brand, while #jordan appreciates #neymarjr.’s style on and off the pitch. Now, as part of a unique Nike/Jordan collaboration, #neymarjr. becomes the first football (soccer) athlete to feature the Jumpman on his performance product. Additionally, the #jordan Brand will release a Neymar edition of the #jordan V Low with “Neymar” stitched inside the tongue. The NJR x #jordan Hypervenom football boot takes inspiration from the #jordan V, #neymarjr.’s favorite. “The #jordan V is very iconic and has the fighter jet shark teeth on the front,” explains Nathan VanHook, #nike Football Sr. Design Director, “and the Hypervenom II that #neymarjr. wears has an almost modernized version of that feature, so we took those elements and put them together.” The #jordan V’s reflective tongue is reinterpreted on the tongue-less Hypervenom in the form of a bold reflective Swoosh. The reflective properties consume the #neymarjr. edition of the #jordan V Low, on which the entire upper is reflective. Jordan’s iconic cement print is recreated on the soleplate of the Hypervenom, along with the Jumpan logo underfoot. The initials of #neymarjr.’s son (“DL”) appear on the laces, as does the icon of the Brasil flag.
Neymar Jr.’s Brasil number, 10, appears on the lateral side of the left boot and per #neymarjr.’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. The sockliner and packaging feature a lock-up of #jordan and Neymar’s logos, while the boot heel features the Jumpman exclusively. In addition to the Hypervenom and #jordan V, the NJR x JORDANcollection 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.
“Michael #jordan set the standard for greatness,” says #neymarjr. “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.”
"I'm excited that Neymar and the #jordan Brand are working together," said #michaeljordan. "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 JORDANHypervenom on-pitch this August when competing for his country. The NJR x #jordan collectionwill be available in youth and adult sizes beginning June 1 via the #nike Football App and June 3 on #nike.com.
