Kylian Mbappé Unveils the Nike Superfly Air Max 95 in a Stunning Debut
Kylian Mbappé has officially debuted the upcoming Nike Superfly Air Max 95, as Nike finally launches its most anticipated boot of the year. A streetwear legend turned pitch-ready weapon, the AM95 steps into football’s spotlight—fittingly on the feet of a World Cup final hat-trick hero. Nike has delivered a bold evolution.
One of the most speculated boots of 2025 has landed, and French icon Mbappé gave us the first proper look. During a training session ahead of Real Madrid’s clash with Valencia, Mbappé rocked the unreleased Superflys—an unexpected, striking rework of a silo we thought we knew. Now, with Nike’s official reveal, the Mercurial Superfly AM95 is here in all its glory.
Originally released in 1995, the Air Max 95—crafted by designer Sergio Lozano—broke boundaries with its radical look and forefoot air units. Brazil’s national team helped take the shoe global, sporting them during their dominance. From the favelas of Rio to the streets of Brixton, they became a must-have—a cultural mainstay that never faded. Now, Nike reimagines it for the modern game.
The Superfly AM95 blends the iconic with the innovative. It borrows the muscle-fibre-inspired upper from the original sneaker, in the unmistakable “Black/Neon Yellow/Anthracite/Lt” palette. It’s not the first time this colorway hit the pitch—the classic Hypervenom rocked it too. This time, the Superfly’s Gripknit upper is reshaped, with a sleek black toe cap and deep texture.
Neon yellow highlights flash on the Swoosh and subtly beneath the surface knit. Atop the extended tongue is the rebranded Air Max logo—now reading Air Zoom, merging the two legacies. A neon-lit, spine-structured soleplate completes the design, with ‘Nike Air’ and the years 1995 and 2025 etched among the studs—a nod to the shoe’s journey from sneaker to cleat.
The Superfly AM95 is more than a boot—it’s a tribute, a hybrid, a flex. And with Mbappé leading the charge, its future on the pitch looks just as legendary as its past on the pavement
