The FIFA World Cup is finished. In total, the globe was blessed with 104 matches across the group and knockout stages, and in the end, Spain walked away with the FIFA World Cup Trophy after beating Argentina in extra time. Just the day before this low-scoring effort, France and England played for third place in a scoring barrage. The final score was 6-4, with France on top, including two from French superstar Kylian Mbappe to give him 10 goals total for the tournament. The extra two put him over Lionel Messi for the Golden Boot, and to celebrate, Nike is dropping a special Mercurial Superfly 11.
Kylian Mbappe’s Golden Boot Mercurial Superfly 11 Elite
While the boots were most definitely designed well ahead of the tournament, Nike must have known something we didn’t, or had a hunch feeling, considering Mbappe also won the Golden Boot at the 2022 tournament. Anyhow, the boots are done in a regal gold color palette across the FlyWeave Ultra upper and come accented by clear jade on the Swoosh and sole unit.
Nods to Mbappe are found throughout, including the tongue with his signature KY logo, his initials “KM” on the heel with the numbers “999,” and a rooster for France, and on the insole, which features his signature and the phrase “Designed to the exact specifications of Kylian Mbappe” in English. Above this text for Mbappe is the French phrase "sans risques il n'y a pas de victoire," which translates to "without risks, there is no victory." Inside, the boot contains ZoomX foam for a responsive on-pitch feel and Air Zoom units in the foot for extra bounce.
