Kylian Mbappé’s explosive rise from Parisian schoolboy to global star is chronicled in his first Nike collection, crowned by the launch of his own Mercurial Superfly 7.
-
Paris Saint-Germain and French national team forward Kylian Mbappé showcases his first Nike collection.
In addition to the boots, the collection includes an Air Max 98, a Nike F.C. jersey, hoodie, T-shirt, hip pack, cap and a football. All are infused with the swagger Mbappé brings to the pitch and his enduring love for Bondy, the Parisian suburb he grew up in.
-
The new Bondy Dreams Mercurial Superfly combines a sleek white upper with a bold green geometric pattern that sprawls across the heel, side and front of the boot.
-
The collection's Air Max 98 is topped with French flag accents.
-
The color green is a prevailing theme throughout the collection. It references Bondy’s rural past, the trees on the commune’s coat of arms and the green shirts worn by AS Bondy.
-
The number 93 — to indicate Bondy’s location in the 93rd department (Seine-Saint-Denis) — is also heavily referenced.
-
The collection's football is infused with green and gold accents.
-
The collection weaves two gold stars throughout, signifying the two gold finishes by Mbappé's home country on the world's biggest football stage.
“Bondy is always in my heart; it’s where I found and fell in love with football,” says Mbappé. “It helped shape me as a person and as a player. I have a lot to be thankful for and it is special that Bondy is at the center of this collection. Back then I had my heroes and many of them had their own special edition Nike boot, so to join them in now having one of my own is a dream come true.”
“Bondy is always in my heart; it’s where I found and fell in love with football.”
