Real Madrid’s Vini Jr. recently took part in Complex’s “Sneaker Shopping” with host Joe La Puma, hitting up Flight Club in Los Angeles to browse for new footwear. Joining a celebrated lineup of footballers featured on the show, Vini Jr. followed in the footsteps of his idol Neymar. During the episode, he chatted about his Nike endorsement, meeting Drake, and his admiration for Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1s, before diving into Flight Club’s impressive sneaker collection.
Unlike past footballers who have splurged significantly, such as Neymar’s notable $18,000 spree in 2017, Vini Jr. was more restrained. Though he didn’t spend as extravagantly, he still made a notable purchase—a rare pair of Fragment Design x Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1s for $4,730. Vini mentioned that while he already owned a pair, he had them in a different size, making this purchase a perfect addition to his collection.
