Kylian Mbappé just showed off the brand-new Nike boots he’ll be wearing in upcoming matches — and they’re truly out of this world.

While continuing to perform at the highest level with Real Madrid, the French superstar posed with this new and exclusive footwear that blends history, style, and premium materials — a combination that also pays tribute to one of the most iconic sneaker silhouettes of all time.

Mbappé’s New Kicks

Enter the Nike Air Max 95 — a modern homage to the original design by Sergio Lozano, first released way back in 1995.

With its revolutionary construction — layered materials that evoke mountain ridges and a sculpted silhouette inspired by human anatomy — the Air Max 95 marked a turning point in Nike’s design history.

Thirty years later, the Swoosh is honoring that legacy by fusing the DNA of this iconic silhouette with the innovation and performance demanded by the modern football pitch. The result: the Nike Mercurial Air Max 95 — a cleat that inherits the unmistakable design of its predecessor, now reimagined with a redesigned sole for enhanced traction and an upper built to handle the intensity of today’s game.

The Air Max 95’s popularity soared even higher thanks to the Brazil national football team — a dominant force at the time — who not only dazzled on the pitch but exuded style and swagger while wearing the shoes. From the favelas to the streets of South London, the Air Max 95 became a global streetwear icon. It didn’t matter where you lived — everyone wanted a pair. That symbol of identity and style remains as strong as ever. So what better time for Nike to bring the soul of the AM95 onto the pitch and turn it into a new classic on the field?
