Kylian Mbappe was given a special gift: a pair of Air Jordan sneakers

Kylian Mbappe seems to have received a belated birthday gift from Dior Artistic Director Kim Jones, and it’s none other than the inaugural silhouette from the upcoming collaboration between Jordan Brand and Dior – the Air Jordan I High OG Dior.

 

Known for his love of sneakers, Mbappe, who recently got his own signature Air Max 98 from Nike as part of his debut collection ‘Bondy Dreams,’ shared the unexpected Air Jordan I High OG Dior present on his Instagram stories. This stylish gift, even though it arrived around a month after his 21st birthday, underscores the perks of being the world’s most valuable athlete.

 

Apart from his sneaker passion, Mbappe is a fervent basketball enthusiast. Given his previous interaction with the Charlotte Hornets before their NBA season opener in Paris, it wouldn’t be surprising to spot the Frenchman on the basketball court, potentially donning his new Air Jordan I High OG Dior. Flaunting such exclusive kicks finds a perfect match in the world of sports, where showcasing unique styles is always welcome.

 

The collaborative and limited-edition Air Jordan 1 High OG marks the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan and commemorates the debut of the first Dior men’s collection in the United States.

 

This exclusive release seamlessly blends the timeless charm of the iconic shoe with Dior’s distinctive style, emphasizing the fusion of American and French culture and the intersection of haute couture and high-performance sportswear – a perfect fit for Mbappe’s tastes.
