Mbappe's latest signature Mercurials return to his roots once again, this time taking inspiration from a pair of trainers that captured the imagination of the French capital when the superstar was taking the first steps in his glittering career.
The new design draws from the Air Max Plus 7 trainer, AKA the TN7 - a cult classic that was introduced in 2004 and became iconic in western Europe, and particularly in Paris. The unique look of the original footwear was based on water droplets distorting on a windscreen, and that’s been replicated on Mbappe's new boots.
Arriving in a striking plum, silver and lime green colourway, his new signature Mercurials feature what Nike describe as "reworked TN iconography", including Mbappe's 'KM' logo, bringing streetwear aesthetics to the pitch.
In terms of the technical stuff, the forefoot features 'Zoom Air' for "energy return", while a knitted upper provides precise touch and control - attributes synonymous with Mbappe.
