#3 Kylian Mbappe
It is astounding that at just 22, Kylian Mbappe has won a plethora of trophies for both his club and country. The Frenchman is a proven world beater, being one of the most crucial members of Paris Saint-Germain and France in these last few years.

Blessed with inhumane pace and proficiency in the final third, Mbappe's marauding runs with the ball have been a nightmare for defenders. In addition to dislodging defenses, the 22-year-old star also knows how to put the ball into the net. He racked up 42 goal in 47 appearances for PSG last campaign.
Due to his exploits, Mbappe has been touted as the heir to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Undoubtedly, he can be an invaluable asset for Nike just like Ronaldo was over the years. The Frenchman wears Nike's Mercurial Superfly Elite soccer cleats on the pitch.
#2 Robert Lewandowski
One of the favorites to lift the Ballon d'Or 2021, Robert Lewandowski is the best striker on the planet. The Polish hitman has been scoring goals for fun now, which is why he claimed the FIFA World Player of the Year prize in 2020.
Lewandowski has been racking up incredible numbers season after season with Bayern Munich. The 33-year-old broke Gerd Muller's record for most goals in a single Bundesliga campaign by scoring 41 goals.
Lewandowski is also the fastest player to score 80 goals in the UEFA Champions League, ahead of even Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Lewandowski's contract with Nike expired the previous year but the Bavarian continues to flaunt Nike boots on the pitch. Nike Phantom Venom is his favorite brand of boots to wear during matches, despite not officially being with Nike.
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo
A five-time Ballon d'Or winner, Cristiano Ronaldo, needs no introduction. The Portuguese superstar is undoubtedly one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. Countless goals, big titles and individual accolades followed him wherever he went, making him one of a kind.
Ronaldo returned to his former club Manchester United following his transfer from Juventus this summer. Although the Red Devils are struggling, Ronaldo has had his share of goals. He has racked up five goals in four Champions League games, which adds to his tally of nine in all competitions.
Ronaldo has a lifetime contract with Nike following his lucrative deal years ago. The Portuguese icon prefers Nike's Mercurial Superfly elite soccer cleats, which aid in his pace.
