This is the first time Vini’s been handed his own custom colourway and these boots are packed with personal touches and plenty of flair - just like the man himself.
With a sleek black base, the Vapor 16 features a bold gradient on the upper, fading from yellow to red on the outer, while the inner offers a Brazil-inspired yellow to green gradient effect.
