Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite ‘Vini Jr’ Is Coming, and It’s a Beauty

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.

Other design details include an iridescent soleplate and a lovely nod to the players’ heritage with text design on the heel reading ‘Vini Fly’ and ‘Vini Voa’, the Portuguese for fly.
