France’s World Cup victory including its Finals match with Croatia was the ultimate win for Nike. Although the two teams battled it out in an adidas led tournament where they kicked around an adidas produced ball, the Beaverton-based brand captured the moments that mattered most.<\/p>\n
Be it phenom Kylian Mbappe’s Youngest Player Award or Luka Modric coveted Golden Ball trophy, Nike won big in the critical, crystallized moments. Even facing a deficit in terms of adidas outfitting more teams<\/a> than they did in this years World Cup, Nike somehow found greater visibility at times that meant most to its strategic success\u00a0 — including Paul Pogba’s post-win dab, trophy in hand, Nike Swoosh on his chest just off-center.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nothing, however, meant more than France’s victory coupled with the emergence of Mbappe<\/a>. The 19-year old star was a whiz throughout the games and something like a walking billboard in his Nike kit and matching cleats. His World Cup showing followed one game last season where Mbappe wore OFF WHITE x Nike cleats designed by Virgil Abloh<\/a>. It’s that partnership and what it represents that lends credence to new reports that Jordan Brand will soon outfit Paris Saint-Germain.\u00a0Mbappe, who plays for PSG, could potentially be the centerpiece of that union.<\/p>\n Jordan Brand is currently working with the Parisian club on a host of projects. Primarily, as one would guess, the partnership is sneaker focused when later this year they will release a collaborative Air Jordan 5<\/a>. In addition, Justin Timberlake, a frequent Jordan collaborator, was seen on tour in a PSG x Jordan Brand Coaches Jacket which only added fuel to this growing inferno.<\/p>\n
