The World Cup may be over but the merch and apparel rollout continues this month with the launch of a limited-edition pair of soccer cleats from French star and 2026 Golden Boot Award winner, Kylian Mbappé.

The Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 reimagines the brand’s bestselling soccer cleats in a gold, white and mint colorway (matching the French national team’s 2026 away kit, which pays homage to France gifting the Statue of Liberty to the U.S. in 1884). The main upper uses Nike’s “FlyWeave Ultra” material, which offers a premium textured look with a golden shimmer. Nike’s Air Zoom cushioning and “ZoomX” foam offer comfort and responsiveness off the pitch.
