In a world where ambition can feel out of reach, Nike and AKQA transformed a boot launch into a powerful statement on self-belief. The immersive, AI-powered experience reimagined Kylian Mbappé’s childhood bedroom as an interactive training ground for a champion's mindset, sparking a global conversation that showed a new generation that greatness is within reach.

INSIGHT

Every dream has a beginning. For Kylian Mbappé, it was a bedroom in Bondy, France, a room surrounded by heroes that became the blueprint for an experience about turning childhood ambition into reality.

IDEA

To prove that ambition is the great equaliser, we reimagined Mbappé’s childhood bedroom as an interactive training ground. It wasn’t just fans who were invited to enter, but football’s most influential voices, who had to prove themselves too.

IMPACT

The mindset cultivated in the room spread globally. It reached over 60 million views, driving engagement five times higher than the benchmark. The experience created a lasting sense of belief. Participants left with more than new boots, they left with the conviction that their own ambitious dreams are achievable. The launch proved that in sport, the most powerful tool is inspiration.
