• Nike commissioned only three player-issue pairs worldwide, one each for Neymar Jr., CR7, and Luka Modrić, due to uncertainty over the winner — making this pair exceptionally rare and historically significant.

• Crafted to Neymar’s exact measurements at Nike’s Athlete Services factory in Montebelluna, Italy, using his custom foot last.
