Kylian Mbappé and Nike continue their creative partnership with a bold new colorway of the Mercurial Zoom Vapor 16.

Arriving in “Grand Purple,” this special edition cleat pays tribute to Mbappé’s career-defining player exclusives. From “Rising Fire” to “Bondy Dreams,” each moment is honored through subtle design cues throughout the upper.

The cleat features Nike’s Gripknit technology on the Flyknit upper to enhance ball control. This design offers a close-to-foot fit with improved touch and comfort. Additionally, Zoom Air cushioning underfoot provides responsive energy return for explosive sprints.

A full-length plate system offers maximum traction on firm ground pitches, making it perfect for elite players. The heel includes callouts to France’s World Cup wins, celebrating Mbappé’s national pride and global legacy.

Beyond its performance build, this cleat stands out with its vibrant purple finish mixed with striking gold accents and reflective details. It’s both functional and flashy—fitting for a world-class star like Mbappé.

The Kylian Mbappé x Nike Mercurial Zoom Vapor 16 “Grand Purple” releases April 24, 2025, at select Nike Football retailers and Nike.com for $270 USD in men’s sizing.

To sum it up, this release captures both style and legacy. Whether you’re a collector or a competitor, this cleat is built to impress.
