Neymar's Nike Hypervenom Elite Pack soccer cleat features the same modifications as his previous boot, the yellow and blue paint from from the Spark Brilliance pack. Combining a leather-like upper with the tongue and the sole plate of the Nike Mercurial Vapor while also featuring Flywire strings, we already took a detailed look at Neymar's boots earlier this week after the Brazilian striker posted a picture of his footwear on social media.
Following weeks of boot-spotting and surprises, Nike had already officially announced the full 'Elite Squad' one week, and it differed from what was predicted in one position.

This image shows a possible lineup of the 11 players chosen to wear the boots from the Nike Elite Pack football boot collection.
Instead of Mexican winger Hirving Lozano, the Nike Elite Squad includes FC Barcelona's Neymar, who most recently won the Olympic soccer tournament with Brazil wearing Hypervenom Phinish cleats from his collection with the Jordan Brand. He can be seen wearing the Nike Elite Pack Hypervenom Phantom II on the promotional material released by the brand.
The players included are the only professionals to wear the boots from the Elite Pack, with the majority of Nike athletes continuing to sport the previously launched collection.

Good or Bad? Rexona Armpit Sponsorship on 2026 World Cup Referee Shirts
Update - Tuesday, June 23, 2026: Following our publication, Rexona contacted us to provide additional context on the activation.
According to Ben Curtis, Global Brand Vice President for Rexona at Unilever, the sponsorship is intended to highlight fourth officials, who "may not always be the focus of attention but are at the centre of some of football's most intense and anticipated moments," as part of Rexona's "It Won't Let You Down" campaign during the FIFA World Cup 2026. "They need to remain cool and calm under pressure - That's exactly why this partnership is such a natural fit for Rexona."
The 2026 World Cup referee shirts feature one of the most amusing and strategic sponsorship placements seen in football. Deodorant brand Rexona has their logo positioned directly under the armpits of the match officials' jerseys, creating a highly contextual advertising opportunity.
The Rexona logo remains largely hidden during regular play but becomes clearly visible whenever a referee raises their arms to signal a free kick, award a penalty, or issue a card. This placement perfectly matches the deodorant product being advertised, resulting in a memorable piece of marketing on the sport's biggest stage.
While this specific placement has caught the attention of fans during the 2026 tournament, it is not entirely unprecedented. A similar concept was previously executed in Brazil, where Avanço deodorant sponsored the armpits of Corinthians. However, Rexona's execution at a World Cup brings the clever concept to a massive global audience.
