Today, Nike unveiled Vini Jr.’s first signature Mercurial boot, paying homage to his roots and trademark Brazilian flair, while celebrating his rise to the top of the game.
Renowned for his standout style and brilliance on the pitch, it was only right to create a boot that reflected his boldness.
The boot brings Vini Jr.’s journey to life through its unmissable colourway: a fitting tribute to his rise from his hometown of Rio to international acclaim with Real Madrid.
A closer look at the boot reveals two contrasting panels on either side. The fade of red to yellow on the right side represents Vini Jr.’s formative years with Flamengo, while the left side is awash in blue, green and yellow, inspired by the colours of the Brazilian national team.
The phrase “Vini Fly, Vini Voa” is repeated across both panels and is imprinted on the heel in black. With an oversized Swoosh, inspired by Nike’s Vaporfly, and a fading pearlescent plate finish rounding out the bold look.
The boot features the best-in-class performance expected from Mercurial, including a unique three-quarter-length Air Zoom unit for springy acceleration and a Gripknit toe that delivers a precise boot-to-ball connection.
The Nike Vini Jr. Mercurial Vapor will be available globally on May 26 at nike.com and select retail locations.
