The duo decided to work together to create a new boot due to the mutual respect they share due to their sporting achievements in basketball and football respectively.
Nike football design director Nathan VanHook said of the boot: 'The Jordan V is very iconic and has the fighter jet shark teeth on the front.'
Jordan's brand will release a Neymar edition of the Jordan V Low with the Barcelona man's name stitched inside the tongue in another sign of the respect between the duo.
Neymar has put his own stamp on the tongue-less Hypervenom by ensuring the initials of his son - DL - and the Brazil flag are placed on the boot.
Jordan said of his new partnership with Neymar: 'I'm excited that Neymar and the Jordan Brand are working together.
