It’s a great day for Real Madrid fans as Vinicius Jr. steps up as the next potential GOAT after leading his team to a 0-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the recent UEFA Champions League. This makes it the 15th time that his team was crowned European champions. Not only did this victory seal his greatness as an outstanding player, but it won him the attention and admiration of Nike.
Vinicius Jr. has been endorsed with Nike since he was 13 but in 2023, the two parted plays due to an internal conflict. Now, it looks like all is back to normal as his relationship with Nike starts anew with a sound foundation. This union has won the approval of former NFL star Colin Kaepernick, who is also a Nike partner.
Colin Kaepernick reposted on his Instagram story what Nike brand marketing agent Giovanni Fillari posted, showing his approval of the giant sports apparel company’s nod on Vinicius Jr. after his recent heroics. In the post was a picture of the soccer star with the caption, “Witness his rise. Just do it.” Fillari also wrote “Vamos @vinijr.”
