Neymar didn't just get into Air Jordans when Jordan Brand decided to link up with him for a collaborative collection of sneakers and soccer boots. In a new clip shared on Twitter, the Brazilian soccer icon says that he was wearing Jordans during his days in school.
"My first pair of Jordans, I wore them all the time," he says in the short video. "I would wear them to school, I always had them on."
"Michael Jordan has inspired me in the pursuit of greatness."@NeymarJr stays motivated by The Boss. #WEAREJORDANhttps://t.co/BaToUA4yeD
He goes on to say that he even wore the shoes to play soccer, apparently putting Jordans in the category of football footwear long before the brand ever made a conscious decision to do so.
Neymar's Air Jordan collection, centered on a retro Air Jordan V Low, released in June.
