Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite FG Vini Jr. Sunset Pulse

The Vapor 16 Elite is pure, unfiltered speed. It unleashes explosive acceleration with an improved 3/4‑length Air Zoom unit, giving you the propulsive feel needed to break through the back line. All that responsive energy pairs with a wave‑like traction pattern, built to keep you faster for longer than ever before.

Gripknit, Atomknit and Flyknit combine to form the thinnest Mercurial upper to date, bringing you closer to the ball and lessening break‑in time. Gripknit is a sticky, pliable, weather‑resistant yarn that enhances boot‑to‑ball connection and ensures your touch stays consistent in wet or dry. The wave‑like traction pattern features cascading studs that take up more surface area of the Air Zoom unit, with chevron and blade studs working in tandem for quick directional changes. The low‑cut silhouette keeps you low to the ground, connected and ready to explode.

The Vini Jr. signature edition channels the fearless flair of the Brazilian. The "Vini Voa" inspiration comes from Vinícius' childhood habit of always wearing colourful shoes — a reminder that the game is meant to be played with joy, freedom and attitude. Sunset Pulse and Old Royal colours allude to Flamengo, his first team in Brazil, and the national team where he is now one of the leaders. His 'VJR' logo sits on the lateral heel, with "Vini Fly" and "Vini Voa" stamped along the spine — connecting the design to his roots and rise.
