The Brazilian funk music Vini Jr. grew up listening to in Rio de Janeiro is the reference for his latest Nike football boot. For the Real Madrid attacker’s Mercurial Vapor 17 “Laser Orange,” that connection comes through in a bright orange and pink finish, with Brazil-related graphics worked into the design.

Laser Orange covers most of the Atomknit upper, then gives way to Fuchsia Flash around the lower heel. The pink stays concentrated toward the back, leaving orange as the main color across the boot. Large Swooshes stand out in a dark purple-black shade, and a closer look reveals artwork inside them referencing Vini’s home country.

Vini’s logo is on both the collar and insole, with “Acredite” printed inside the boot as well. The word means “Believe” in Portuguese, and both versions appear on the outsole.

Between the music reference, Brazil-themed artwork and Portuguese lettering, the design keeps the focus on Vini’s upbringing in Rio. Those details are spread across the upper, insole and sole, giving the release more to look through than its orange-to-pink color scheme alone.

November 12, 2026, is the release date for the Vini Jr. x Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 “Laser Orange.” You’ll find it at Nike.com and select retailers for $270.
