Neymar has officially ended his 15-year partnership with Nike and signed with PUMA, marking one of the most surprising brand switches in recent football. His chosen boot for the pitch is the Puma King Platinum, a traditional leather silo that contrasts with his usual flashy style.
The End of a 15-Year Partnership with Nike
Neymar’s long-standing relationship with Nike came to an end as he made the move to PUMA. The switch has been widely discussed across the football world, given the length of the previous deal and Neymar’s high profile.
Neymar’s New Boot: The Puma King Platinum
Instead of opting for a more modern or extravagant design, Neymar will wear the KING Platinum. This silo is widely regarded as a traditional boot, known for its clean touch and refined appearance. It offers a k-leather upper for a soft feel on the ball and a distraction-free fit, well suited for pacey wingers and central midfielders who need to stay light on their feet.
Neymar’s Statement on Joining Puma
Neymar explained his decision by referencing football legends who wore the KING before him:
“I grew up watching videos of great football legends such as Pelé, Cruyff, Eusebio and Maradona. These were the kings of the pitch, the kings of my sport. I wish to bring back the legacy that those athletes created on the pitch. They each played in PUMA, and each of them created their magic in The KING.”
He added:
“Every time I lace my boots, my KING boots, I will do anything to achieve all of my dreams to honor my name and that of all those great ones who wore the KING before me. This will be my PUMA history. The KING is back!”
Why the Puma King Platinum Suits Neymar
The combination of Neymar and the Puma King Platinum is considered a strong match. The boot shares some similarities with the Nike Tiempo Legend VII in construction, blended with a leather version of the adidas adiZero, resulting in a balanced product. It provides a clean touch, comfortable fit, and allows for focused play without distractions.
Neymar’s Role as Puma Brand Ambassador
Neymar will not only wear the PUMA King on the pitch but will also serve as a brand ambassador off the pitch. He will represent PUMA’s lifestyle, training, and sport-inspired footwear and apparel.
The Puma King is back, and Neymar is ready to write his own chapter in its history.
