Mbappe’s first trademark Nike soccer cleats were the KM x Bondy Mercurial Superfly 7. With a unique pattern in colors of green and grey, Mbappe’s cleats paid homage to his background in Bondy, a Paris suburb. The color scheme symbolized his journey from his tiny hometown to the world stage of football.

In the 2020 Champions League final, Mbappe wore the second edition of his signature cleats, the Mercurial Superfly “Pink Panther.” These eye-catching boots have a pink hue with a huge white “Lightning Swoosh” on the outside. The style was inspired by Nike’s earlier pink boots from 2008, which became popular among players like as Franck Ribéry.

Mbappe’s third original design, the Mbappe Flames, debuted for the 2021/22 season. These boots had a light purple (“Light Thistle”) color with a red fire pattern, representing Mbappe’s status as one of the world’s fastest footballers. Nike and Mbappe worked together to produce a distinctive and eye-catching design.
