Ahead of the World Cup, Neymar Jnr and PUMA present an all-new collaborative collection that celebrates the ‘belo jogo’.

Born just outside São Paulo, Brazil, the inimitable Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior has quickly ascended to the heights of the world’s most popular sport and, in doing so, he has captured the attention of football fans around the globe.

The tropical collection is an ode to Brazil, the nation, and the culture that shaped Neymar Jnr. Running through the collection, a unique graphic language finds inspiration in Brazilian football, São Paulo street art, and several of Neymar Jnr’s most cherished tattoos.

The collection’s main insignia, vibrantly embroidered birds are an homage to a tattoo found on the left side of Neymar Jnr’s neck depicting three small birds with the phrase “Tudo Passa”. The expression translates to “Everything Passes”, a sentiment that reminds the Brazilian superstar to enjoy the moments of celebration and to bear the ways that life tests us. Neymar Jnr’s own logo is also reinterpreted to match the collection’s festive colour palette.

“Since joining PUMA, they have been bringing a lot of my personality into the collections. They are authentic pieces, with cheerful colors and references from my daily life, such as tattoos. This tropical collection was also created to remind me a little of the atmosphere of Brazil and who I am as a person,” said Neymar Jnr.

The collection comprises a selection of premium basics, including a Relaxed Tee, Track Pants, Bomber, and more. A Jacquard Tee and Jacquard Shorts feature a specially designed, tonal pattern that is inspired by vintage football scarves. Touches like detailed embroidery and premium construction act to elevate the capsule even further.

Two PUMA footwear icons, the off-pitch PUMA Leadcat slide arrives in two unique versions. PUMA and Neymar Jnr launch their new collection ahead of PUMA “Generation Fearless”, a campaign that centers around the way football transcends generations to positively charge youth culture.
