In the years that have passed since Michael Jordan's first signature shoe came out, the Jumpman has evolved from a silhouette into a full-brown brand. While basketball will always be the brand's bread & butter, we've seen footwear and apparel for other sports such as baseball, golf, running, and even athletic training.
If you've been living under a rock for the past few years, Neymar Jr. is a footballing phenom. He plays for FC Barcelona the one of the biggest football clubs in the world, as well as the Brazilian national team. He's also only in his early twenties and it turns out, he loves the Air Jordan 5.
The Air Jordan 5 is 1 of 2 shoes that anchors the Neymar Jr. x Jordan collaboration - the first time a non-Jordan athlete has collaborated with the brand, as well as the first time we'll get to see Jordan gear out on the pitch. Picture above is an Air Jordan 5 low done up in the signature 3M reflective material, while both the number "23" and "10" (a nod to Neymar's number with the Brazilian National team) can be found on the upper as well.
Rounding out the collection is a special colorway of the Hypervenom Phantom II in grass, turf and indoor versions. If you're digging it, a part of the collection will release on June 9 at select retailers such as Titan.
