Following up on the initial release earlier this summer, Nike unveiled another soccer cleat as part of the ongoing collaboration between Neymar and the Jordan Brand today. Predominantly white, the new Neymar x Jordan Nike Hypervenom Phantom II football boots will be worn by the Barcelona number 11 in the upcoming games.
Nike first introduced the collaboration between FC Barcelona superstar Neymar with Air Jordan in June with the launch of a special-edition Nike Hypervenom football boot that was worn by the Brazil number 10 during the Olympics. The collaboration also included other items inducing a football, t-shirts and, most notably, a Neymar-designed Air Jordan 5 Low.

The second iteration of the Air Jordan x Neymar football boots takes the unique and interesting design of the first release, but swaps the black for white, while also adjusting other parts of the cleat. The white base of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom II Neymar x Jordan soccer boots is combined with a very bright orange, used for all brandings, the sole plate and the zig-zag pattern on the outstep.
Last but not least, the iconic Jumpman logo is stitched onto the heel of the Nike Hypervenom Jordan x Neymar cleats, while Michael Jordan and Neymar's shirt numbers are printed on the heel of the right and left shoe to pay homage to the two sports stars. The large Swoosh at the front of the white Nike Hypervenom Neymar x Jordan boots, as well as the Dynamic Fit collar, are light grey.
Tech-wise, the upper of the Air Jordan Neymar football boots, although based on NikeSkin tech, features a completely different structure than the standard Hypervenoms. The trademark Flywire strings of the second-gen Hypervenom cleats are present in the Nike Hypervenom Air Jordan Neymar boots which are the first-ever football boots bearing the logo of the Jordan Brand.
Expected to retail at $375, the price of the first release, the white-and-orange Nike Hypervenom Phantom II Neymar x Jordan cleats were launched on October 11, 2016.
