Nike Unveils Neymar's New Signature Boots That Map Out His Career

Nike unveiled a pair of signature boots that have been "tailor-made" for Barcelona striker Neymar, according to Callum Davis of the London TELEGRAPH. The boots "tell the story of Neymar’s journey to date, mapping out his career for Brazil and for Barcelona, as well as including a number of details about his family." Two of Neymar’s "proudest moments" with Brazil are "immortalised within the constellation design on the boot." The date of his debut goal against the U.S. is written on the side of the boot, as is last summer’s Gold Medal triumph in the Olympics -- "acknowledged via reference to Maracana Stadium." Several of Neymar’s "most memorable club goals are also commemorated on the boot." Neymar's future at Barcelona "remains the subject of intense speculation" amid reports that Paris St. Germain is ready to trigger his £196M ($257M) release clause (TELEGRAPH, 7/26).
