If you’re Nike and you wanna get some weight behind your offspring’s latest collab with Patta, what do you do? Well, you just send Neymar along to the party. The Brazilian’s star power is instantly enough to draw attention to the Patta x Jordan collection, which features the retouched Air Jordan VII front and centre.

Everyone knows that Neymar is a huge fan of basketball, and his club’s recent affiliation with the Jordan brand meant that he was a natural fit when it came to drawing on a bit of star power to promote the Jumpman’s latest collaboration. The hook up with Patta marks the first time that Jordan has partnered with a European brand – if we don’t count PSG that is.

The Air Jordan VII ‘Patta’ initially released exclusively to the Amsterdam region last month, but a wider release has now been announced, along with a full apparel collection that includes a tracksuit, shorts, T-shirt and bucket hat, all captured in a lookbook that features Neymar Jr. The collection features an eye-catching archival print complete with 'Team Patta' branding and the label’s signature script logo, sitting alongside the unmistakeable Jumpman.
