Neymar Jr. Launches New Collection With PUMA

Football superstar Neymar Jr. has reconnected with PUMA for another collection of apparel and footwear. This time pulling from Neymar Jr.’s home country of Brazil, the duo looked to Brazilian football, São Paulo street art and some of Neymar Jr.’s tattoos for inspiration. The insignia found throughout the collection references the three birds tattooed on Neymar Jr.’s left side of his neck. Speaking to his connection with PUMA and the collection, Neymar Jr. shared “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.”

The focus throughout this collection is premium basics with a Neymar Jr. touch. Beginning with apparel, this detailing can be found on a bomber jacket, mock neck crew, jacquard tee, relaxed tee, track pants, jacquard shorts and more. As for accessories, a backpack, crossbody bag and two headwear offerings are included. Looking at the footwear options, the duo has outfitted the PUMA Slipstream in black and white leather colorways alongside the PUMA Leadcat slide in black and yellow looks.

Release for the latest Neymar Jr. x PUMA collection is set for September 22 via PUMA and select retailers. Price range between $28 USD to $150 USD. Check out an additional look at Neymar Jr. wearing pieces from the collection below courtesy of his Instagram.

NBA and Louis Vuitton Collab for a New Accessories Collection

Louis Vuitton‘s collaborative portfolio expanded into the hoops division once it solidified a partnership with the NBA in 2020. And since then, the French luxury house has teamed up with the pro basketball league on various initiatives including footwear, apparel, a mini hoops set and a trophy case for the champions, and now the duo has reconnected to introduce a fresh batch of leather goods.

 

Lined up in this assemblage is a backpack, keep-all, wallet and a smaller-sized duffle bag. Each piece comes luxuriously fashioned with a bold blue leather that’s adorned with tonal monogram patterns. Silhouettes of a basketball that bear the LV logo inside also grace each product and come styled with red and white accents to appropriately channel the aesthetic of the NBA logo. More contrast is also visible through the straps as they are fitted with solid black as well as the hardware which shows up with metallic gold exteriors. You can find the range releasing via Louis Vuitton on June 2, the first day of the 2022 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics. Prices are $4.6K USD for the backpack leather keep-all for about $4.3K USD for the leather keep-all, $650 USD for the wallet and $1.7K USD for the travel bag.
