Kylian Mbappé Leaves Nike for On Sportswear Collaboration
Kylian Mbappé has concluded his nearly 20-year association with Nike, opting to sign with the Swiss sportswear brand On. The announcement was made on a Friday, with Mbappé stating that he did not consider extending his contract with Nike as he sought a new phase in his career.
He joined Nike as a child and acknowledged the brand's significant support over the years. In his statement to CNBC, he emphasized the importance of reflecting on one's identity beyond their profession.
The collaboration with On will involve Mbappé developing high-performance football shoes and clothing for the brand. On, established in 2010 and known for its running and tennis gear, is making a significant move into football through this partnership.
