Unlike Mbappé: On Ambassador Sydney Schertenleib Continues to Wear Adidas Predator Boots
- Schertenleib's Continued Adidas Wear: Despite being announced as a global ambassador for On, Swiss Barcelona star Sydney Schertenleib continues to wear Adidas Predator football boots in her matches.
- On Ambassador Role and Purpose: Sydney Schertenleib was brought into On's football project alongside Kylian Mbappé and Thierry Henry to assist with the testing and development of On's upcoming football boots.
- Difference from Mbappé's Transition: Unlike Kylian Mbappé, who quickly debuted On boots after his announcement, Schertenleib has not yet been spotted wearing On cleats on the pitch, even though her on-pitch footwear contract with Adidas is believed to be over.
Update: Saturday, October 17, 2026: Swiss Barcelona star Sydney Schertenleib continues to wear her Adidas Predator football boots, despite being announced as On's global ambassador. It remains to be seen when she will start wearing On cleats (her Adidas contract might be valid until the end of the year/season).
When Swiss running and sportswear brand On made waves across the football world in September 2026 by signing Kylian Mbappé, they also highlighted FC Barcelona and Switzerland midfielder Sydney Schertenleib as a core member of their football project. Alongside newly appointed Director of Football Thierry Henry, the 19-year-old talent has been brought into the fold to assist with the testing and development of On's upcoming football boots ahead of their planned commercial rollout in 2027.
Schertenleib Wears Adidas Predator Boots for First Matches After On Announcement
However, while Mbappé debuted On boots in the second official match after the announcement, Schertenleib did not. Indeed, her whole setup is very different. She initially signed with On back in December 2025 strictly as a training and lifestyle ambassador. This role has now been expanded, but she has not been spotted with On boots yet. We are, however, very sure that her on-pitch footwear contract with Adidas is over.
It remains to be seen how soon Schertenleib will debut On boots.
