1 hour ago, by Chris
- Unexpected Boot Deal: Kylian Mbappé is reportedly close to signing a significant boot deal with an "unexpected" brand, potentially ending his long-term partnership with Nike.
- Equity and Signature Brand: The prospective deal is unique, offering Mbappé equity shares in the company and his own dedicated sub-brand within their new premium boot line, mirroring athlete-investor models in other sports.
- Departure from Nike: This move follows growing speculation and earlier reports hinting at Mbappé's departure from Nike before the 2026-27 season.
French superstar Kylian Mbappé could be on the verge of one of the most surprising boot deal moves in recent football history. According to French journalist Thibaud Vézirian, the Real Madrid forward is finalizing an agreement with an "unexpected" brand to become his new official footwear supplier, signaling a potential end to his long-standing partnership with Nike.
A New Model: Equity and Signature Brand
Unlike traditional endorsement offers from established giants like Adidas or Puma, this prospective deal is expected to give Mbappé a far deeper stake in the business. The unnamed brand plans to make a major entry into the football market with a new premium boot line, offering Mbappé his own dedicated sub-brand as well as equity shares in the company. This move echoes high-profile athlete-investor models seen in other sports, such as Roger Federer's successful partnership with On Running.
Speculation surrounding Mbappé's boot situation has been building following earlier reports from outlets like L'Équipe and RMC Sport hinting at an exit from Nike ahead of the 26-27 season.
