Football superstar Kylian Mbappé has been a partner of Nike’s since 2016, when he first joined Paris Saint-Germain. Alongside a line of signature Mercurial boots, Mbappé and Nike regularly release lifestyle shoes, adding the Air Max Plus VII to the list in 2026.
Mbappé has a close, evolving partnership with Nike, especially through his signature Mercurial boots. His recent Player Edition Mercurial (2025) in “Grand Purple” draws on design elements from his previous boots — the Rising Fire, Bondy Dreams, Rosa, and Flames. He’s also had special-edition cleats inspired by manga (“Whistle!”) for 2023-24. Beyond boots, Nike has dropped lifestyle collabs like the Nike Air Max 98 “Kylian Mbappé” and Nike LeBron 18 “The Chosen 2” Mbappé, combining his sport legacy with bold sneaker culture.
This week, another off-field sneaker project from Mbappé and Nike has surfaced, with an expected release date in Spring 2026. This time, the two are working with the Air max Plus VII as their canvas. The VII is an offshoot of the standard AM+, adding a dotted grid to the shoe’s upper for a look that emphasizes motion and speed. Mbappé’s pair comes in a subtle “Plum Eclipse” shade of purple for the upper, adding the dotted pattern in a silver shade. Swooshes and Air bubbles come in a pale Volt green shade, while metallic gold accents round out the look.
