Boots

The Nike Mercurial Mbappe 26-27 'Career Journey' signature boots were expected to be released in the TF (turf) version as well. But of course, they will never see the light of day since Mbappé signed a new deal with On.

Following the bombshell announcement of Kylian Mbappé ending his two-decade association with Nike to join Swiss performance brand On as a flagship athlete and equity partner, speculation has surged regarding when the Real Madrid star will officially showcase the boots on pitch. On recently revealed its clean white prototype cleats engineered with proprietary, seamless LightSpray technology and developed alongside newly appointed Director of Football Thierry Henry.

While Mbappé tested the whiteout prototypes in training ahead of the 26-27 Madrid derby against Atlético Madrid, an official debut this weekend remains unconfirmed as the Frenchman transitions from his signature Nike Mercurials. On-pitch prototype appearances are expected in the coming weeks ahead of a full retail rollout in 2027.

Kylian Mbappé has sent shockwaves through the boot world following his official departure from Nike to join Swiss brand On. Marking the historic switch, the Real Madrid superstar has already been revealed wearing his all-new On football boots in promotional footage and gameplay for EA Sports FC 27.

Serving as the cover star for the game, Mbappé gives fans an early preview of On's ambitious entry into football footwear. The in-game renders show off a clean, predominantly white prototype cleat featuring the Swiss brand's signature logo boldly displayed across the upper. The boots are built around On's proprietary LightSpray technology, a seamless and ultra-lightweight manufacturing process developed in tandem with Mbappé and the brand's newly appointed Director of Football, Thierry Henry.

While the commercial retail release of On's debut football boot collection is slated for 2027, the boots will be featured directly in EA Sports FC 27 around launch. On the pitch, the French forward is expected to give the boots their live competitive debut for Real Madrid in the coming weeks of the 26-27 campaign.
