Nike and Kylian Mbappé unveil the Mercurial Air Max 95

Football and fashion meet, once again, on the pitch.

Real Madrid‘s French superstar has made it clear on multiple occasions that his influence goes far beyond what happens in the stadium. Now, together with Nike, he announces the launch of an exclusive boot model that fuses history, style and performance, paying homage to one of the most iconic silhouettes in the history of sneakers.

The Nike Air Max 95 changed the rules of sports design in 1995, and is now reimagined in the form of football boots, adapted to the highest demands of the beautiful game. Its revolutionary construction, with layers of materials that evoke a mountainous relief, and its sculpted silhouette that mimics the human anatomy, marked a before and after in Nike‘s history.

Thirty years later, the swoosh giant has decided to pay tribute to its legacy by fusing the DNA of this iconic iteration with the technology and performance that professional football demands. The result is the Nike Mercurial Air Max 95: a boot that inherits the unmistakable design of its predecessor while optimising it with a reinvented outsole for increased traction and an upper adapted to the demands of the game.

And who better than Kylian Mbappé to star in this launch?
