Kylian Mbappé becomes the latest footballer to feature in Complex's 'Sneaker Shopping' series as the 2018 World Cup winning forward links up with Joe La Puma at Flight Club in Los Angeles. Mbappé has been influential in Nike and PSG's collaboration with the Jordan brand thanks to his streetwear style, and Nike have themselves the perfect player to further blend the worlds of football on streetwear moving forward.
Following in the footsteps of Paris Saint-Germain teammate Neymar, who spent $18,000 in the series in the summer of 2017, Mbappé checks in to talk about growing up in Paris, PSG's Air Jordans, the legacy of the Nike Mercurial boot, before checking out with more additions to his ever-growing sneaker collection.
Kylian Mbappé has been busy this post-season on his tour of the United States with Nike and recently previewed the new Paris Saint-Germain x Jordan collection on Venice Beach in Los Angeles before playing a pickup game with Venice Beach Football Club. The Frenchman is instrumental to Nike's plans throughout the new 2019/20 season with Swoosh further leaning on their new superstar for more lifestyle-led campaigns. That's not to say that Cristiano Ronaldo's time as Nike's main man is up, it's just that Mbappé is leading a new generation of Nike.
