Kylian Mbappe appears to have received a late birthday gift from Dior Artistic Director Kim Jones, and it is none other than the first silhouette from Jordan Brand’s impending partnership with Dior, the Air Jordan I High OG Dior. Mbappe, known for his love of trainers, recently received his own personal Air Max 98 from Nike as part of his inaugural collection ‘Bondy Dreams,’ He revealed the surprising Air Jordan I High OG Dior gift on his Instagram stories.

 This fashionable gift, which arrived around a month after his 21st birthday, highlights the benefits of being the world’s most valued athlete. Aside from his sneaker obsession, Mbappe is an avid basketball fan. Given his recent involvement with the Charlotte Hornets prior to their NBA season opener in Paris, it would not be shocking to see the Frenchman on the basketball floor, possibly wearing his new Air Jordan I High OG Dior. Flaunting such exclusive kicks is a fantastic fit in the realm of sports, where displaying unique styles is always welcome. 

The collaboration and limited-edition Air Jordan 1 High OG commemorates the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan and the release of the first Dior men’s line in the United States. This special release flawlessly integrates the classic shoe’s timeless charm with Dior’s unmistakable style, emphasising the merger of American and French culture, as well as the convergence of haute couture and high-performance sportswear – a perfect fit for Mbappe’s preferences.
