To celebrate one of Nike's best soccer players, Jordan Brand will be a releasing a special Air Jordan V for Brazilian soccer star Neymar next year.

This is a huge honor for any athlete, but especially someone who isn't even a basketball player. If anyone deserves it, it's Neymar, who has become one of the faces of global soccer because of his dominance on FB Barcelona and the Brazil National team. There are no details about the design or colorway yet, but expect this to be a major release amongst soccer fans.

Sole Collector reports that this sneaker will drop in Fall 2016.
