The actual bespoke kit is based on the jacket as part of an entire range of clothing produced by the collaboration but has seen the silhouette replace the Nike tick instead.Nike, which provided the boots for 65 per cent of players at last summer’s World Cup, are keen to raise its football-related revenues, which aBloomberg report showed sitting at 1.6bn in 2016 compared to rival Adidas’ 2.3bn.8

Neymar wore custom Jordan-branded boots throughout the 2016 Olympics, using them to score the winning penalty in the Gold Medal match

The Jordan brand launched in 1984 when its eponymous founder went third overall in the NBA draft to the Chicago Bulls.With the Bulls, who had never won an NBA title until Jordan arrived, he won six rings. They have not won another championship since.In so doing, Jordan became the face of basketball, and is regarded by many as the greatest ever to have graced the court.Endorsements from the brand that carries his name have helped him build a net worth of 1.29bn, placing him inside the top 1,500 richest people in the world.8

At 26, PSG forward Neymar is already worth 68.5m and will make a further 250m just in salary from the five-year deal he signed at the club last summer

PSG will hope the new kit brings them more success in Europe than they have been used to in recent years, despite the vast outlays they have made improving their squad.Despite bringing in Neymar and Kylian Mbappe for a combined 366m in 2017, they have failed in recentChampions League campaigns.They take on Manchester United in the Round of 16 this season.
