Our campaign was more than a celebration, it was a tribute to the King, who has an unparalleled history, after all, History doesn't repeat itself.
Both are/were PUMA athletes, both made history at Santos and won the world with their football. Still, when we look at each of their stories up close, there's no comparison. Here we tell Neymar Jr.'s story, which is the result of everyone who has crossed his path and influenced him, including Pelé.

The campaign was rolled out globally on the same day that the milestone was reached.
The work brings together material from the NJR collection that was researched, retrieved and captured over the course of a year between research and assembly of the material.
