In a statement, PUMA explained that “As one of the most successful athletes of his generation, Neymar will wear the legendary PUMA King football boot on the field. He will also be a brand ambassador off the court, wearing PUMA’s premier sports, training and lifestyle-inspired apparel and footwear products. “
Taking to Instagram to share the news with fans, Neymar wrote that he grew up watching videos of great soccer legends. “They were the KINGS of the field. REYES of my sport. This is exactly what I have dreamed of for myself. I want to do it my way. I want to bring back the legacy that those athletes created on the field. I want the KING to reign on the pitch again and inspire generations, as he has inspired mine. This will be my PUMA story. “
