The Mercurial Vapor Vini Jr. Player <\/em><\/strong>Edition<\/strong><\/em> is the first exclusive silhouette of the line that bears the name of one of the most explosive players on the current scene. And we’re not talking about just any boot, but a visual and technical artefact that tells the story of a superstar who has managed to transform speed into art and dribbling into a universal language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the Color of Speed <\/em>concept, a metallic effect that not only shines, but also vibrates, a chromatic palette emerges on which the boot in question is built. The design is interwoven with shades that trace Vini’s journey, from his beginnings in the favelas of Rio<\/strong> to his coronation at the Santiago Bernabeu<\/strong>. On the inner side, the red-yellow gradient recalls his formative years at Flamengo<\/strong>; on the outer side, the blues, greens and yellows pay tribute to the Verdeamarela, the ultimate symbol of Brazilian football. But best of all is the inscription \u2018Vini Fly, Vini Voa\u2019<\/strong><\/em>. A sort of visual mantra, carved into the structure of the boot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of technical specifications, the Mercurial<\/strong> line continues to explore its limits through a three-quarter length Air Zoom<\/strong> unit; Nike<\/strong> Gripknit<\/strong> technology, located in the toe cap to fine-tune ball control; Flyknit Collar<\/strong> and a reinforced heel fit to ensure maximum stability; and a traction plate with a wavy stud pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nike Mercurial Player<\/strong> by Vini Jr<\/strong> will arrive on 26 May<\/strong> at nike.com<\/a><\/strong> and selected retailers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
