Kylian Mbappé Wins 2026 Adidas Golden Boot - Predator Design
France forward Kylian Mbappé has claimed the Adidas Golden Boot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup after finishing the tournament as the top scorer with 10 goals.

The achievement makes him the first player in history to win back-to-back Golden Boots and elevates him to the all-time leading goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history with a total of 22 goals.
The other Adidas awards also feature current designs (Predator gloves & Trionda ball).
