In the 2016-2017 season, the AS Monaco club was proudly crowned in the French national championship – Ligue 1, in the surprise of the grave world. Referring to the army full of combat in those days of the Congregational football team, perhaps people will immediately think of a young man with fast running steps and passionate kicking. It’s Kylian Mbappé.
With an impressive debut, the Cameroonian striker was evaluated as a promising football talent at that time. Moving to the big man Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2017 with the “hydrogen bomb” named Neymar, Kylian Mbappé not only stood up to the huge pressure but also had a spectacular breakthrough.
With his fast paces, smart moves, superior technique, and killer instincts of a leopard, the 19-year-old boy that year captivated fans with his brilliant performance at the 2018 World Cup. The day that the French team was crowned in Russia was also the day that Kylian Mbappé officially rose from young talent to become one of the most outstanding names in the world football village.
Similar to the speed and enthusiasm of the game, Kylian Mbappé’s fashion style is also very dynamic and youthful. Although not as flashy as Neymar or Paul Pogba, most of Mbappé’s outfits are not too colorful and ostentatious. In contrast, the golden boy of Luc Lange is quite interested in simple outfits but still exudes a sporty look and ensures enough prominence.
With great potential and rapid growth, it is not surprising that the Nike brand quickly approached Kylian Mbappé very early on. In addition, the fact that Jordan Brand officially collaborated with PSG – Mbappé’s parent club in 2018, made the items from the swoosh house always accompany him from the field to the real world.
Kylian Mbappé himself also has a special affection for Nike when he always wears the most unique items in the sportswear collections of this sports giant. In 2018, in the midst of his career rising like a kite, Kylian Mbappé was also “chosen to send gold” by Virgil Abloh to be the main model for his mini collection OFF-WHITE x Nike Football. Since then, sneakers designs in the Nike/Jordan x OFF-WHITE collections have appeared with increasing frequency on the 22-year-old’s feet.
A sports jacket from Nike Sportswear, teamed with jogger pants with a super hype sneakers design like the Jordan 1 x OFF-WHITE or Jordan 1 “Shattered Backboard,” and a luxury piece of jewelry like a Hublot watch – Kylian Mbappé’s daily outfits are usually created according to a fairly simple formula but very respectful as well as affirming his dynamic personality and stylish and star-class dressing.
Besides outstanding talent and being born in Paris, Kylian Mbappe is very favored by French fans with the nickname “prince of Paris” or “The darling of French football”. The golden boy of the football village himself also knows how to build his position when he is very attentive to the items in the collaborative collections from Jordan Brand and Paris Saint-Germain, even when attending matches. He is always willing to participate in events or daily activities upon request.
This sophistication and intelligence have helped Mbappe gradually surpass Neymar to become more and more widely recognized as an iconic image of Parisian football in particular and the country of France in general.
Although he has admitted that he is not a fashionista, Kylian Mbappe still creates sympathy with a style that is not too colorful but still retains the predominance, simple but reasonable mixes, and youthful colors and bold sports breath. Therefore, although there have not been many breakthroughs and creativity in fashion, Kylian Mbappe can still be seen as a representative of the generation of talented and enthusiastic young players of world football in both image and expertise.
