Kylian Mbappé has received a pair of highly coveted Nike x Dior collaboration sneakers as a gift.

Yesterday, Kylian Mbappé surprised his followers by showcasing a pair of the exclusive Nike Air Jordan High OG x Dior on his personal Instagram. The gift was presented by Kim Jones, the artistic director at Dior.

The Nike Air Jordan High OG x Dior, unveiled in early December last year, has garnered immense attention from both Nike and Dior fans. Although these sneakers have yet to hit the market, StockX has already valued them at a minimum of $7,000.

Following Mbappé’s post, sneaker enthusiasts quickly shared images of the player’s new kicks. Major sneaker forums also featured Mbappé’s photos on their front pages.

Nike and Dior’s gesture to gift these sneakers to Mbappé might be part of a strategic move to capture the interest of younger consumers. Beyond his football fame, the French star is also known for his impressive collection of rare, high-value sneakers. Mbappé’s significant influence among the youth is expected to positively impact the sales of this Nike-Dior collaboration.
