✦ Authenticity guaranteed for life
Item checked by hand in my authentication workshop. If an item bought from me is ever identified as a unofficial piece, I refund it in full. Guarantee with no expiry date.
- Heat-bonded PSG crest on the camouflage base (photo 3): the Eiffel Tower gradient and the « SAINT-GERMAIN » lettering are crisp, where unofficial pieces invariably bleed
- Stitched UEFA starball and RESPECT patches, matching competition specifications
- Dri-FIT fabric with the camouflage pattern woven into the knit, construction specific to the Nike 2017-2018 range
- Full method: authentication guide
🛠️ Workshop note — Inner label cut out (photo 5): only the composition strip remains, so the product code is no longer legible. I say it plainly — it is a common practice among wearers bothered by the label. Authentication here rests on the crest, the patches, the camouflage knit and the printing, all compliant. No authenticity code can be provided for this item.
📖 2017-2018: the No.29, a number worn for one season only
Summer 2017: PSG signed Neymar, then Kylian Mbappe, aged 18. The No.10 and No.7 were taken — Mbappe was given the 29. He would wear it for a single season. This black camouflage third, with the Champions League patch stitched on the sleeve, is the shirt of that exact moment.
📅 Summer 2017 — France's transfer of the century. Monaco to PSG for 180 million euros: Mbappe became the most expensive French player in history, at 18.
🔟 A short-lived number. From the following season he switched to No.7, then No.10. Paris shirts printed « MBAPPÉ 29 » therefore existed for one season only — which is what makes it one of the most sought-after printings on the market today.
🏆 July 2018 — world champion. A few months after this season, Mbappe lifted the World Cup with France and became the youngest scorer in a final since Pele. This shirt is the chapter just before.
👑 Kylian Mbappe — born in Bondy in 1998, made his name at Monaco, spent seven seasons at PSG where he became the club's all-time top scorer, then joined Real Madrid. 2018 world champion, France captain and his country's all-time leading scorer.
❓ Frequently asked questions about this shirt
Does the cut label affect authenticity?
No, but I would rather be direct: the product code is no longer legible, so I cannot provide a verifiable authenticity code for this item, unlike most of my shirts. Authentication rests on the heat-bonded crest, the stitched UEFA patches, the camouflage knit and the printing — all compliant. My lifetime guarantee applies as normal.
Why does Mbappe wear No.29 and not 7 or 10?
When he arrived in 2017, the No.7 and No.10 were already taken in the Paris squad. He therefore took the 29 for his first season, before moving to 7 and then 10. That number existed for one year only — which is precisely what makes it valuable.
What is the round sleeve patch?
It is the UEFA Champions League starball, worn only in that competition. Together with the RESPECT badge on the other sleeve, it identifies the European version of the shirt, produced in smaller numbers than the league version.
How does this L fit?
54 cm pit to pit and 74 cm in length, flat measurements given above. Nike shirts of this generation run slim. If you prefer a looser fit, go one size up.
How much is shipping and how long does it take?
Shipped within 48 working hours with Colissimo tracking (€5.99 in mainland France, free from €99.99). International rates and delivery times detailed on my shipping FAQ. Returns accepted within 14 days if unworn.
