Kylian Mbappé ends Nike deal to partner with On
19 Sept 2026
Kylian Mbappé has ended his 20-year association with Nike and agreed a boot deal with Swiss sports brand On, according to The Guardian.
The announcement also said the France captain will become an active investor and shareholder in the company. The move marks On’s entry into football with Mbappé as the headline name attached to the project, as reported by The Business of Fashion.
The Guardian reported that Mbappé described the agreement as the start of a shared project, while Business of Fashion said the Swiss brand is using the deal to expand further into football.
What the agreement includes
According to the reporting, Mbappé’s role goes beyond a standard endorsement arrangement. Alongside the boot partnership, he is set to hold a shareholder position in On, linking one of football’s most recognisable names with a company best known for running footwear and apparel.
The deal ends a long commercial relationship with Nike and gives On a high-profile figure for its football push. Both publishers reported the agreement on 18 September 2026.
