Kylian Mbappé leaves Nike to join On. An association that lasted for nearly twenty years comes to an end for the Real Madrid forward, whose contract with the Swoosh ended on July 31. The captain of the French national team is now committed to ten years with the Swiss brand as an ambassador.
For On, signing Kylian Mbappé marks its entry into football. Previously focused mainly on running and tennis, the brand is preparing a line dedicated to soccer, with Mbappé directly involved in product development. The partnership will kick off with a first soccer shoe, where On is expected to adapt its LightSpray technology. Developed since 2024, this process allows for the creation of an upper in just a few minutes while reducing assembly steps and emissions related to production.
However, patience is required. While Kylian Mbappé may soon wear On cleats on the field, the Swiss brand's first soccer line is set to launch in 2027.
