Michael Olise isn’t just making headlines on the soccer field. The FC Bayern attacking star is apparently set to take on a prominent role with one of the world’s largest sporting goods manufacturers. According to Footy Headlines, a website specializing in soccer gear, the French player is set to team up with Manchester City striker Erling Haaland to promote the relaunch of a legendary Nike soccer cleat line.

Just a few days ago, it was announced that Olise had signed a lucrative sponsorship deal with Nike. Now, more details have apparently emerged about the role the 24-year-old is set to play for the U.S. company in the future.

According to the report, the Bayern star is part of an exclusive group of top international players who will help launch the comeback of the Hypervenom collection next year.

Olise will join a true roster of superstars

According to Footy Headlines, Nike plans to relaunch the legendary Hypervenom line in the summer of 2027.

Erling Haaland is set to serve as the global face of the campaign. According to the report, the Norwegian striker from Manchester City is slated to be the main face of the new product line.

In addition to Haaland, Chelsea star Cole Palmer, two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas, and Michael Olise are also expected to be among the key brand ambassadors.

For the Bayern Munich pro, this would be another significant step in his marketing career. The Frenchman’s backstory is particularly interesting. For years, Olise played without a permanent soccer cleat contract and regularly relied on older models.

He was particularly taken with the 2018 Hypervenom Phantom III, of all things. The attacking player repeatedly wore pairs of the long-discontinued model.

It’s therefore likely no coincidence that Olise is now set to promote the revival of this very product line.

Nike plans a major overhaul of its soccer cleats

With the return of the Hypervenom, a major change appears to be on the horizon at Nike. As Footy Headlines reports, the current Phantom line is set to be discontinued after its sixth generation.

Starting in the summer of 2027, it will be replaced by the Hypervenom, which is designed primarily for agility and attacking players.

This would mean that Nike would once again rely on three core soccer cleat families: Mercurial for speed, Tiempo for ball feel and comfort, and Hypervenom for agile offensive players.

For Olise, the planned advertising campaign is yet another sign of his growing international stature. The Frenchman has long since established himself as one of FC Bayern’s key players. Now, off the field as well, he’s set to join the ranks of global stars like Haaland and Palmer.
