Mbappé x Nike March 2, Mercurial Superfly and Air Max Plus VII

Mbappé’s first coordinated footwear capsule with Nike hit shelves on March 2, 2026, pairing performance Mercurial Superfly cleats with a lifestyle Air Max Plus VII, each priced at $180 USD. The drop is billed as a move where Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappé is "officially taking his Nike partnership both on and off the pitch with the launch of an expansive new footwear capsule," a deliberate blurring of soccer kit and streetwear codes.

The Air Max Plus VII arrives under the official name Kylian Mbappé x Nike Air Max Plus VII, listed in the Plum Eclipse/Metallic Gold Grain/Black/Barely Volt colorway and assigned SKU HQ2197-200. The silhouette is explicitly described as the "recently revived Air Max Plus VII," and it carried the same $180 MSRP and March 2, 2026 release date as the rest of the capsule. Availability was noted as Nike and "select global retailers," though the full retail list was not published.

On the performance side, the Kylian Mbappé x Nike Mercurial Superfly appears in Nike’s product listings as SKU FQ8692-200 with an official colorway label of Plum Eclipse/Metallic Silver and an MSRP of $180 USD, releasing March 2, 2026 via Nike and select global retailers. Editorial copy for the cleats refers to them as the "performance-focused Mercurial Superfly 10 cleats," and paints a vivid picture: "sporting a brownish-taupe base heavily contrasted by a bright lime green Swoosh and silver pill-shaped graphics extending from the heel." The same block of copy notes that "Signature 'KM' tongue logos and 'ZM Air' branding round out the premium, pitch-ready design."

There is a clear metadata mismatch in the materials presented: the SKU listing gives the Mercurial colorway as Plum Eclipse/Metallic Silver while descriptive copy emphasizes a brownish-taupe base with a lime green Swoosh and silver heel graphics. Both pieces of information appear in the capsule’s roll-out materials, and both have been preserved in product listings and descriptive reporting.

Nike promoted the capsule on Nike Football’s Instagram, with the embed prompt, "View this post on Instagram — A post shared by Nike Football (@nikefootball)," which accompanied the visual content used across the campaign. The synchronized pricing — both the Mercurial Superfly and the Air Max Plus VII at $180 MSRP — makes the capsule notable for pricing parity between a pitch-ready cleat and a revived street silhouette.

This collection explicitly aims to "bridges the gap between high-performance sportswear and Parisian street culture," staking Mbappé’s influence into lifestyle territory while keeping the Mercurial lineage squarely performance-oriented.
