TLDR: The Vini Jr. x Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite will be released on 26 May 2025 and will cost €280. The colourful signature football boot of the Brazilian superstar celebrates his speed, heritage and personality and is packed with high-performance technology and style. As usual, all further information is available at Grailify. With his first publicly available player edition boot, Vini Jr. brings colour to the pitch - literally. The Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite PE combines Brazilian passion with technical finesse and marks Vini Jr. Jr's journey from the football pitch in Rio to superstar at Real Madrid. The eye-catching colour palette perfectly reflects this journey: the inner side, which runs from red to yellow, symbolises his time at Flamengo, while the outer side is decorated with the Brazilian national colours of blue, green and yellow. An iridescent finish, which shimmers depending on the light, completes the design.
The slogans ‘Vini Fly’ and ‘Vini Voa’ can be found several times on the upper, the heel and even the insole. They remind us that Vini doesn't run on the pitch - he flies. His personalised logo on the tongue and an oversized Swoosh in Vaporfly style round off the eye-catching design.
However, the shoe is not only visually impressive, but also sets technical standards. The equipment with a full-length Air Zoom element in the sole, a Gripknit toe area for maximum ball control and an internal speed cage for a firm grip guarantees explosive performance at the highest level. The special outsole with a wave-shaped stud pattern enables lightning-fast changes of direction.
