In 2026, Brazil's national team jersey arrived with Michael Jordan's logo on it. The reaction was immediate, 72.4% negative mentions. For a country where football is identity, putting an American basketball icon on the most sacred symbol in the sport felt like a betrayal.

Volt Sport is the only 100% Brazilian sports brand outfitting clubs in Brazil's top divisions. The brand that understands the emotion and history of Brazilian football better than anyone. So instead of reacting, Volt seized the heat of the debate to remind Brazil of something it had forgotten: its own icons. Léonidas da Silva. Brazil's first football superstar.

The man who immortalized the bicycle kick and became Brazil's first World Cup top scorer in France 1938. A legend who, until then, had been forgotten.
Volt launched Air Silva, an exclusive jersey collection, a documentary, and a travelling exhibition paying tribute to the man who made Brazilian football iconic long before anyone else arrived. An American icon sparked the return of a Brazilian one.

4,562.5% increase in mentions of Léonidas da Silva.
91% positive sentiment. Volt earned media 5x its budget.
