Nike celebrated Rodrygo Goes’ first goal for Brazil by gifting him a personalized pair of Phantom GT 2 sneakers. He scored his debut international goal against Paraguay on February 2, 2022, during a World Cup qualifying match.
The customized Nike Phantom GT sneakers feature the vibrant yellow, blue, and green colors of the Brazilian national team. They also include special details, such as the date and time of the match (02.02.22 – 88′) and a tribute to the goal itself.
While the hardware of Rodrygo’s personalized shoes is identical to the retail Phantom GT 2, the design is uniquely tailored to commemorate his achievement.
Rodrygo expressed his excitement: “Hi, Rodrygo! When you reach your goal, it’s an amazing feeling. It was even greater when the yellow flag was raised for the first time. It is such a privilege to be a part of this history!”
Alongside the footwear, Nike included a note and a special gift. For his training sessions, Rodrygo also wore a Nike Phantom GT 2 from the Rawdacious Pack collection.
