A bizarre secondhand listing has caught the attention of the football shirt community after a seller on Vinted put individual cut-out parts of a Kylian Mbappe France kit up for sale. Highlighted on social media by kit enthusiast account @ruinedshirts, the listing titled "Mbappe France shirt parts" features various branding and detail elements literally cut out from the original jersey fabric.
The listing includes individual cutouts of the French Football Federation crest topped with two stars, Nike's Swoosh, Mbappe's number 10, and official FIFA tournament patches. Rather than attempting to sell or repair the shirt as a whole, the seller opted to completely dismantle it and offer the individual details as separate components.
While secondhand marketplaces frequently feature damaged or heavily worn kits, offering literal fabric scraps cut directly from a shirt has sparked widespread amusement among collectors. Whether listed as a joke or aimed at custom kit creators, it stands as one of the most unusual shirt listings seen online.
Michael Olise took to the pitch for his first 2026 World Cup match against Senegal wearing a unique pair of custom football boots. Rather than opting for one of Nike's current mainline models, Olise laced up in a personalized version of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom III boots.
The boots were customized by artist Matt Digiacomo, widely known as Matty Boy. The design features a distinct hand-painted aesthetic, applying personalized graphics and details directly onto the classic Hypervenom Phantom III 'Just Do It', released in 2018. This choice by Olise highlights a continuing trend of players showcasing bespoke, artist-customized footwear during major tournaments.
The custom Matty Boy edition serves as a striking blend of high-performance football gear and individual streetwear-inspired artistry.

In France's opening match of the 2026 World Cup, Kylian Mbappé wore a special insignia on his France kit to commemorate his achievement as the top scorer of the 2022 World Cup. Following his Golden Boot win in Qatar, where he scored eight goals, the French captain's jersey now features a dedicated patch recognizing this individual accolade.
This addition comes as part of a wider trend of specialized badges seen on national team kits during the 2026 World Cup. Alongside standard tournament patches, various players have been spotted wearing insignias denoting their debut or legacy status.

Before their opening match of the 2026 World Cup, the France national team has continued a pre-tournament tradition by posing for a squad photo wearing the kits of their first-ever clubs. The image, which recently gained widespread attention on social media, serves as a tribute to the players' grassroots origins before they compete on the international stage.
The photo features the squad donning the jerseys of the local and amateur teams where their football journeys began. Kylian Mbappé and William Saliba are both seen representing AS Bondy, while Ibrahima Konaté wears the colors of Paris FC. Other notable inclusions are Jules Koundé in Fraternelle de Landiras, Aurélien Tchouaméni in JS D'Artigues, Dayot Upamecano in VS Angers, Ousmane Dembélé in ALM Evreux, Jean-Philippe Mateta in Sevran, and the Hernández brothers in CF Rayo Majadahonda gear.
This tradition highlights the diverse beginnings of the squad and provides valuable recognition for the youth and amateur clubs that helped develop the current generation of French national team players.
