Following yesterday's unboxing of the new Nike GS football boot by a "mystery player," Nike revealed today that the mystery athlete who will debut the boot is none other than Brazilian phenom Neymar.

The star striker will become "the world's most environmentally-friendly football player" this summer at the London Olympics when he takes to the pitch in the new GS boot, the greenest production boot in company history, and the new Nike Brazil national kit, made almost entirely from recycled plastic bottles. 

Will Neymar become a household name this summer? We should find out in a few short weeks, when the Olympic tournament kicks off in the United Kingdom.
