Kylian Mbappé’s Nike Mercurial signature editions tell the story of a player moving at remarkable speed, on and off the pitch.

Here is Ultra Football’s timeline of Kylian Mbappé’s major Nike Mercurial signature editions, and the moments that made them matter.

2019: Nike Mercurial Superfly 7 Bondy Dreams
This is where the proper signature story began.
Bondy Dreams was personal without ever feeling forced. The vast grey base represented the Parisian suburb where Mbappé grew up. Green looked to Bondy’s past, its trees and the local AS Bondy colours. Gold connected the boot to France’s World Cup triumph and a player who had already become part of it.
Then there were the details. The 93 postcode on the toe. French flags on the sockliner. Raised gold “Nike x Mbappé x Bondy” lettering inside the Swoosh. The Mercurial heel logo reworked with Mbappé’s name.
It was a football boot that told you exactly where it had come from.
Bondy Dreams still carries a special place in the line because of that. A young player, a hometown, a World Cup medal and a message that the game could take you further than anyone expected.
2020: Nike Mercurial Superfly 7 Mbappé Rosa
Mbappé Rosa went back to a childhood want.
As a kid, Mbappé saw Franck Ribéry wearing the pink Nike Mercurial Vapor Rosa and wanted a pair of his own. His parents made him earn them through his schoolwork. He did, eventually, and the boots stayed with him.
Nike brought that story back on the Superfly 7.
The pink upper was bright enough to stop traffic, with a lightning-bolt Swoosh carrying the boot forward. It was a nod to the 2008 Vapor Rosa, but it also felt like a lesson written into the design. Work for what you want. Keep going when the answer is not yet.
A good pair of boots can be about more than a colour. This one was.
Chosen 2 took Mbappé beyond football.
Nike paired him with LeBron James, bringing together the Mercurial Superfly 7 and LeBron 18 in one of the brand’s most memorable football and basketball crossover projects. The black upper carried a KM x LBJ pattern, silver pops and iridescent finishes, while a football pitch and basketball court graphic appeared across the pack.
It was a statement of how Nike saw Mbappé by then. Not simply a footballer with a signature boot, but an athlete whose name could stand comfortably beside one of basketball’s biggest ever icons.
Mbappé wore the boots in Mauricio Pochettino’s first game as PSG manager. LeBron had the sneaker. Nike had made the connection.
2021: Nike Mercurial Superfly 8 Mbappé Flames
Roots marked a new era for both Mbappé and Mercurial. Nike’s first personalised Air Zoom Mercurial for Mbappé drew together Parisian culture, Afropop influences and details inspired by the Air Jordan 7. The Dark Beetroot, University Blue and Metallic Vivid Gold palette gave the boot a more considered, cultural feel, while the personalised Swoosh formed an “M” into the Mercurial wordmark.
The technology had changed too. Air Zoom had arrived underfoot, bringing a new sensation to Nike’s speed silo. Mbappé’s signature line moved with it, just as it always had.
Roots was proof that the story no longer had to be told in one direction. It could look back to Paris, across to basketball and forward to what the boot would become.
2022: Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly 9 Kylian Mbappé ‘Roots’
The Generation edition came during the World Cup in Qatar, with tricolour details celebrating France and the latest generation of Mercurial players.
Then the final happened.
Mbappé scored a hat-trick in one of the greatest World Cup finals ever played. France fell short in the shootout, but the performance changed the scale of his international story. Some boots get released beside a tournament. This one became tied to an evening football will keep returning to for decades.
Heartbreak, brilliance and three goals when the whole world was watching.
2023: Baltic Blue
By 2023, the Mbappé Mercurial line had become its own universe.
Baltic Blue pushed the design into comic-book territory, with oversized Air Zoom lettering, illustrated graphics and a finish that made the Superfly 9 feel like it had been pulled from the page. It was a boot with movement built into it.
Nike also created a personalised pair for Mbappé’s 201st PSG goal, the strike that made him the club’s all-time leading scorer. A record boot for a record moment.
Then came Superfly XXV, celebrating 25 years of the Superfly. Mbappé’s place in that anniversary felt natural. The Mercurial has always belonged to players who turn speed into a personality. By then, he was one of its defining names.
2024: Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 Cheat Code
Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid needed a big entrance. Cheat Code was built for one.
The Light Laser Orange Superfly 10 featured digital-style graphics, pixel patterns and bold AIR branding. It was bright, disruptive and impossible to lose against Madrid white. The KM stamp sat on the heel as his biggest club chapter began.
The nickname suited the player too. For most of his career, Mbappé has looked like someone football had accidentally given too many advantages.
Speed. Finishing. Timing. The ability to arrive on the biggest stage and make it feel normal.
2025: Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 Grand Purple
Grand Purple was a greatest-hits album in boot form.
Nike looked back through Mbappé’s own archive and picked out the details that had become part of his visual identity. The gold-lined heel logo recalled Rising Fire. The graphic inside it nodded to Roots. The lateral Swoosh looked towards Bondy Dreams. The medial lightning detail came from Rosa. The flame graphic brought back Flames.
For a player still in his twenties, there was already enough history to sample.
The two stars on the Superfly collar represented France’s World Cup wins. The sockliner carried his “Sans risques, il n’y a pas de victoire” line: without risk, there is no victory.
Grand Purple did not just look back for nostalgia’s sake. It showed how much of a story Mbappé and Mercurial had already built together.
Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly 10 'Plum Eclipse'
Plum Eclipse was one of the more unexpected colourways in the line.
A taupe and brown base, metallic silver details and electric lime accents did not sound obvious on paper. On the boot, it worked. The result had a liquid-metal feel, particularly through the Swoosh and soleplate, while the lime brought the speed-silo spark.
It was proof that the Mbappé line could still surprise, even after years of personal stories and familiar design references.
The best special editions do not always win you over in one look. Some become better the longer you spend with them. Plum Eclipse was that kind of pair.
2026: Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Kylian Mbappé Golden Boot
Then came gold again.
The Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Kylian Mbappé Golden Boot edition celebrates Mbappé becoming the World Cup’s all-time leading scorer and adding another Golden Boot to a tournament story that already felt impossible.
The metallic gold upper is paired with white and mint-green details, while personalised touches include KM initials, a crown, the number 999, a French rooster motif and “Hungry For More” wording. The Superfly 11 platform brings the latest Mercurial speed technology to the release, built around a thin FlyWeave Ultra upper and forefoot Air Zoom responsiveness.
There is a full-circle note in the colourway too. Gold and green are not officially a Bondy Dreams reference, but it is hard not to see the echo. Back then, the colours belonged to a kid from Bondy with a dream. Now they belong to a player who has taken that dream further than almost anyone.
Reports have suggested Mbappé could be approaching a new chapter away from Nike, although no future boot partnership has been confirmed. If this does prove to be his final Nike signature Mercurial, it is a fitting one.
Gold. A record. A player still hungry for more.

The Mbappé Mercurial Story So Far
From Rising Fire to Bondy Dreams. From the Rosa his parents made him earn to a World Cup record in gold.
Mbappé’s Nike Mercurial story has never been only about colourways. It is a football story, told in chapters. The kid from Bondy became a world champion, then a record scorer, then the player Nike built its latest Superfly around.
What happens next remains to be seen. What is certain is that he has left one of the most memorable signature boot histories football has ever had.
