More references to Neymar Jr.'s family also appear on the cleats. 11.03.96 references the birthdate of his beloved little sister, Rafaella. Neymar Jr.'s birthdate, 02.05.92 is on the boot as well, as is his top speed, 34.7 KM/H. The dotted geographical figures on the boot mimic maps of Barcelona and Brasil, respectively.
Additional goals that are personally meaningful to Neymar are marked on this boot as well. This includes his 100th career goal on his 20th birthday and his legendary goal against Villareal, on August 11, 2015. Neymar scored in the 85th minute of the game by flicking the ball over his opponent's head and striking it into goal.
Tech-wise, Neymar's Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 football boots are the same as regular colorways. Made for ultimate speed, the Nike Mercurial Vapor soccer shoe features a tongue-less design and a thin microfiber upper.
