Vinícius Júnior's signature line with the Swoosh keeps growing, and the Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 17 Academy "Vini Jr." hands the Real Madrid winger's latest boot to a younger set of feet. The Vapor is Nike's low-cut speed silhouette, and this pair carries the same colourway the Brazilian wears on the pitch.
The upper is a warm orange that deepens through the midfoot into a red-pink wash, with a scatter of pink flecks breaking up the forefoot like static. A black Swoosh runs the length of the lateral side, outlined so it holds its shape against the gradient. The collar is knit and pulls on with a tab at the heel and another at the tongue, and the lacing sits slightly off-centre to leave a clean strike surface. The firm-ground soleplate is orange throughout, with bladed and conical studs underneath.
The Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 17 Academy "Vini Jr." is expected to release on November 12th at 15:00 UTC for $70 through Nike and select retailers, in big kids' sizes.
