Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé debuted a new pair of unreleased prototype boots during a match against Valencia on November 7, 2026, according to Footy Headlines. The footwear, designated with the development code ON-DCPT-KM710, introduces a vibrant color update to Swiss brand On’s ongoing football footwear project by pairing a white upper with a translucent pink soleplate.
The design immediately caught attention for its color coordination with Real Madrid’s pink third kit. While earlier prototype test variants worn by the French striker featured understated metallic chrome or iridescent outsoles, such as the KM410 model spotted during El Clásico, the KM710 variant introduces bright pink tooling across the full length of its split-plate design.
LightSpray Technology and Automated Production
Beneath the distinctive color scheme, the On-DCPT-KM710 prototype continues to utilize On’s proprietary LightSpray manufacturing technology. Adapted directly from the brand’s high-performance running division, the automated robotic spray-on construction technique builds an ultralight, seamless, sock-like upper without the need for traditional stitching or heavy synthetic layers.
The Swiss athletic brand is actively co-developing its entire upcoming football line alongside Mbappé. Industry observers and equipment specialists note that these iterative pitch tests serve as real-world laboratories for testing both structural durability and bold aesthetic choices ahead of a planned commercial rollout.
Commercial Release Timeline and Market Outlook
Footwear industry tracking indicates that On has scheduled its official commercial football boot releases for 2027. Although the brand has not yet confirmed whether the specific pink-soled KM710 variant will form part of the retail lineup or remain an exclusive player-edition prototype, the on-pitch appearance confirms that On is prepared to leverage vibrant color blocking alongside its revolutionary technical manufacturing methods.
As development continues, equipment analysts are closely watching for further iterations as Mbappé and On refine the design ahead of next year’s commercial launch window. The partnership represents a major strategic push by the brand into elite football equipment markets currently dominated by legacy sportswear manufacturers.
Following his high-profile transition to the Swiss performance brand, Mbappé has steadily worked through multiple prototype iterations on the pitch, starting with the early KM010 variant during a La Liga fixture against Villarreal and progressing through the metallic chrome KM410 used in El Clásico. Each successive model has allowed engineers to evaluate specialized traction layouts and materials under competitive match conditions, ensuring maximum acceleration and stability for the forward’s explosive style of play.
The integration of automated robotic manufacturing techniques represents a significant departure from conventional footwear fabrication. By spraying a continuous thermoplastic filament directly onto a foot form, the production process eliminates traditional adhesives and pattern cutting, achieving a minimalist aesthetic that prioritizes a pure barefoot ball touch.
