Nike has unveiled Neymar’s first signature edition Mercurial Vapor: the Neymar Jr. “Written In The Stars” Mercurial Vapor.
The new boot is a storied take on the classic Mercurial Vapor silhouette in vibrant Blue Orbit and Volt, featuring various nods to Neymar’s career highlights to date.
Two of Neymar’s many highlights with Brazil are acknowledged within the design.
First, his debut goal for Brazil against the United States when he was just 18 years old. And second, last summer’s triumph in the Olympics — acknowledged via reference to Maracana Stadium.
