First-Look: Kylian Mbappé x Nike Air Max Plus VII Collaboration

UPDATE 11.24.2025 As of today, a first-look at one of the expected two Kylian Mbappé x Nike Air Max Plus VII pairs has surfaced by way of Elden Monitors. The sneaker features a "Plum Eclipse/Metallic Gold Grain/Black/Barely Volt" color scheme. References on the tongue and footbed to the model's Tuned Air cushioning are replaced with special KM Air badges to honor the partnership.

Official photos of a second style should surface before 2026 arrives.

ORIGINAL STORY French-born football icon Kylian Mbappé is set to add another major notch to his Nike partnership with the release of his own Nike Air Max Plus VII PE, scheduled to arrive in Spring 2026, as per reports from Air Max insider Bubblekoppe.

While details on the design are still under wraps, the pairing makes perfect sense. The Air Max Plus—known as the “Tn” in France—holds legendary status in French streetwear circles, where it’s been a staple since its late ’90s debut. For a player like Mbappé, who embodies both sport and culture in equal measure, the Air Max Plus VII offers the perfect canvas for a personal touch.

Nike is expected to roll out multiple in-line colorways of the Air Max Plus VII throughout 2025, laying the groundwork for Mbappé’s PE to land immediately. As one of the Swoosh’s premier football ambassadors, a signature-edged release on a silhouette closely tied to his home country is a fitting chapter in his growing off-pitch legacy.

Stay tuned for more details on the Kylian Mbappé x Nike Air Max Plus VII PE as they surface before its 2026 debut.
