Vini Jr. Receives First Exclusive Nike Mercurial Player Edition

by

Nike unveiled the Mercurial Vapor Vini Jr. Player Edition, which is the first boot specifically created for Brazilian forward Vinícius Júnior. This launch celebrates his growth in professional soccer, offering a shoe that combines performance attributes with design aspects inspired by his career path and playing technique.

This boot design showcases what Nike calls the “Color of Speed,” a metallic hue symbolizing an athlete’s speed and its part in his journey towards international fame. It embodies the standard performance traits of the Mercurial series, such as a three-quarter Air Zoom unit for swift acceleration and Nike Gripknit technology on the front for better ball control.

The design of the boot is a tribute to Vini Jr.’s personal and national background. On the inside, it shifts from red to yellow, representing his time at Flamengo. On the outside, it showcases blue, green, and yellow, reminiscent of the Brazilian national team. The phrase “Vini Fly, Vini Voa” is incorporated into the design, symbolizing swiftness.

The Player Edition Mercurial boasts several notable technical features:

– A three-quarter-length Air Zoom unit is integrated within a traction plate that sports a wavy stud pattern to aid in quick acceleration.
– The design includes an internal support structure for added stability, a Gripknit toe area for better ball control, and a reinforced heel fit for a snug grip.
– Lastly, Flyknit technology is employed around the ankle for enhanced comfort and support.

Starting from May 26th, you’ll be able to get your hands on the Nike Mercurial Vapor Vini Jr. Player Edition through Nike’s official website, their mobile app, and a few chosen stores.
