As Vini Jr. flies over the field at blinding speeds, Mercurial lifts him to new heights. The gradient design of his Vapor 16 Elite blends colors from his debut club to the Brazil national team—where he started and where he's going. With bouncy Air Zoom cushioning, a new traction plate and revolutionary Gripknit, it unlocks his explosive acceleration into the future.

Fast Traction

The wave-like traction pattern works with the Air Zoom unit to unlock Vini Jr.'s blazing speed. It takes up more surface area of the Air Zoom unit compared to the Vapor 15 while providing the right amount of grip. It combines with chevron and blade studs to help Vini Jr. stop when making cuts.

Exceptional Touch

Nike Gripknit, a sticky material that provides exceptional touch to the ball, gives Vini Jr. the control he needs when dribbling at high speeds. It provides equal grip in wet or dry conditions.

Snug Fit

The full Flyknit upper, engineered for the game's fastest players, provides a sock-like fit. It combines with Gripknit to form the thinnest Mercurial upper to date, bringing Vini Jr. closer to the ball and shortening break-in time.
