Vinícius Júnior's signature line with Nike continues into the 26-27 season, and the Jr. Mercurial Vapor 17 Academy "Vini Jr." hands the Brazilian's latest look to big kids. The Mercurial name has carried Nike's speed boots since the late nineties, and the Vapor remains the low-cut, lightweight end of that family.
The upper is a bright orange knit that deepens toward a red-orange at the heel, worked with a fine scaled texture across the midfoot and quarter. A black Swoosh runs low along the forefoot, with orange laces threaded through a clean eyestay and a small pull loop at the heel for easy entry. Underneath, a pale pink rubber outsole wraps up at the toe and keeps the profile flat and close to the ground.
The Nike Jr. Mercurial Vapor 17 Academy "Vini Jr." is expected to release on November 12th at 15:00 UTC for $70 in big kids' sizes through Nike and select retailers.
