This shirt is obscenely rare, as it was officially produced but pulled JUST before release.
Neymar posed in it for the new Nike Hypervenom boot drop, fresh off his big money move to Barcelona.
The Brazilian FA decided to veto their decision to allow the shirt to launch, and pulled the plug just before release. This happened due to Brazil’s more than half-century long tradition of exclusively having a yellow home shirt and blue away shirt.
This left Nike scrambling to design a new away shirt in time for release, and denied us of what is unquestionably an all-timer shirt. This would’ve been the first “blackout” shirt, a trend made popular a half decade later by Borussia Dortmund and PUMA.
