Vinicius Jr. Reveals Vapor Elite 15 Inspired by ‘Sunset’ Colourway

After the huge hit of the ‘Voltage Purple’ style in January 2024, flaunted by none other than Mbappé, Nike is back at it again. This March, they’re unleashing a brand new Mercurial, and guess who’s taking the spotlight this time? It’s none other than Vinicius Jr. from Real Madrid. This one’s inspired by the iconic Air Max Plus ‘Sunset’ from ’98.

Just like before, these shoes rock the same features as your regular Mercurial football boots. Think a Zoom Air unit and a Nike Flyknit upper, giving you top-notch comfort and control while you’re out on the pitch. But what really catches the eye is the Mercurial Vapor 15 Elite FG ‘Sunset’ colourway. It goes from a deep, intense red to a mellow orange, giving off those classic ‘Sunset’ vibes like the Air Max Plus.
