Nike Air zoom Mercurial “Les bleus”

Kylian Mbappe has given his football boots a makeover for the World Cup. Let's take a look at all the details.

All Nike players participating in the World Cup in Qatar are wearing boots from the Generation pack. Mercurial players are wearing gold boots, either Vapor or Superfly, with a fully chrome sole and Air Zoom zone in pink.

However, Mbappe is a special player, as we have seen throughout the tournament, and that is why Nike has created a completely unique and special pair of boots for him. In this case, we have boots with a distinctive design that, at first glance, maintains the essence of the Generation Pack but with changes to the sole.

As we can see, from the heel to the part that merges with the Air Zoom plate, we have the French flag painted on the sole, which is truly spectacular as it works really well with the design, looks great at all times and, far from being ostentatious, will be the last thing on the minds of Mbappe's rivals when he leaves them in his wake. A real success.

The design is completed with the flag, also on the template, and a crosswise flag on the bag that always accompanies Nike's high-end designs. A real gem. In terms of performance, the boot is unchanged from the current generation of Nike Mercurial football boots, with the new shell providing extra comfort compared to the previous generation, as well as a slightly wider last. 




The ACC and Flyknit technologies remain in the upper, and of course we have the jewel in the crown of this boot: the large air chamber in the sole, which provides simply spectacular responsiveness and comfort with every step.

A luxury boot that now features the French flag on the sole, in a special design unique to Mbappe. Will we see him lift the World Cup again with these boots? We will find out very soon.
