Mario Balotelli is without a club right now, but he is enjoying himself in a very different role as fashion runway model for KidSuper.
The former Genoa striker made his runway debut for KidSuper at the Spring 2026 Menswear show during Paris Fashion Week.

He modelled a jacket and trousers as part of a show around the theme of a children’s book called ‘The Boy Who Jumped the Moon.’
The designer thanked Balotelli on social media, calling him “the absolute legend” after this surprise outing.

It might be a new career path for the Italy international, who celebrates his 35th birthday in August and recently participated in the Baller League event in London.
He has been linked with Spanish lower tier side Real Murcia after he was released from his contract with Genoa, making only six appearances since joining them as a free agent in October 2024.
Super Mario was a surprise guest at the event, which took place at the legendary Louvre Museum in Paris.
