Mbappé Scores 10th Goal in Pink-Soled On Football Boots

Kylian Mbappé and his Real Madrid teammates might have finally cracked the code to José Mourinho's ways. Although "Los Blancos" still trail behind rivals FC Barcelona, their recent performances have gotten longtime fans excited again for what's possible both domestically and in the UEFA Champions League over the next several months.

The French forward has been a huge part of Real Madrid's success thus far in the 2026-27 campaign. As of writing, he has 13 goals in LALIGA and four in the Champions League. Most goals scored over the last couple of months have been in boots by On Football, the category Mbappé helped launch on Sept. 18 after more than a decade of being sponsored by Nike.

Since the announcement of the Swiss company's new division, the official @onfootball Instagram page has consistently shared behind-the-scenes content showcasing development projects for Mbappé. Different types of prototypes, as well as research and development, has been shared through aesthetically-pleasing carousels and Reels, bringing spectators along for the ride of developing On's first commercial football boot (presumably at least six months before a retail release).

Real Madrid's number 10 has worn a few different pairs of On Football footwear on-the-pitch since mid-September. Many have been posted on Instagram in before-and-after-like publications, allowing fans to understand what exactly is going into which boots and what athlete insights are being extracted from wear-testing.

Recently, Mbappé wore a pair of boots denoted as ON-DCPT-KM710. This design features an innovative LightSpray™ upper with laces, minimal branding, and a pink-colored sole plate that matches well with the Real Madrid 26/27 Third jersey.

Visually, the sample creates an appealing look for many boot-enthusiasts who enjoy the latest in innovation presented with some understated style. Mbappé has demonstrated that the boots perform well too, scoring his 10th goal in On boots.

With ON-DCPT-KM710, the On Football team shared that the "Barefoot sensation" it's trying to achieve has become more direct, although it's still working to enhance it; the stud configuration has been tuned for swifter turns that suit Mbappé's game; and that it'll "Try color combos next" given how much the pink sole plate pops against the predominantly-white upper.
