France captain Kylian Mbappe shared an Instagram selfie of himself wearing new sneakers from PSG’s training facilities.
Mbappe is currently on his way out of Parc des Princes, where he is training with Leandro Paredes, Georginio Wijnaldum, Julian Draxler, and a bunch of other players.
The 24-year-old forward wore a pair of white and bright red Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly boots while at the Campus PSG in Poissy.
There is a large Nike swoosh on the outside and a smaller one on the interior of the boot in black.
The ‘Air’ design appears in white on a bright red background on both sides of the boot’s heel.
Aside from that, the toe studs are bright red, and the heel is white.
The boots’ design gives various performance benefits.
The boots’ Vaporposite+ top material is extremely responsive and suitable for maximum ball handling at fast speeds.
Nike has managed to reduce the material’s thickness while preserving durability, while also delivering a natural contact with the ball thanks to its gripping texture.
A football-specific 3/4 length Zoom Air unit in the stud plate provides an additional level of springy underfoot feel and aids in fast movements.
The Tri-star stud design provides multidirectional traction with each step, helping the athlete to change directions fast and confidently.
A curved heel stud form gives traction and stability while braking, and a pair of toe-off center studs provide traction when starting quickly.
The Flyknit is a smooth and stretchy fabric that covers the ankle and is significantly more comfortable than earlier models.
The boots are obviously intended for the French speedster, since they are best suited for a dynamic, nimble, and attack-minded player who enjoys taking on defenders and scoring goals.
The boots will be available on August 3 as part of an undisclosed new set for £230.
That seems a little pricy for a brand-new pair of boots, but the performance gains appear to outweigh the cost.
There are a few other flaws in the design.
A player who selects a different cautious stud layout, for example, will be in unfamiliar territory.
The material’s thinness allows the wearer to get a natural feel on the ball, allowing for a clean touch.
This, in course, implies that the boots aren’t regarded powerful.
Many fans viewed the color scheme as an indication that a transfer to Real Madrid was imminent, with only the timing to be established.
The deadline for activating Mbappe’s contract extension until 2025 has passed, and Les Parisiens are close to signing Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele.
It remains to be seen how the Mbappe saga unfolds, but the new boots are undeniably popular and will be on the want lists of many players.
