Nike and Tekken Team Up For a King-Inspired Air Max Shoe
Nike’s dotswoosh division has confirmed an upcoming collaboration with Tekken, featuring the fighting game franchise’s iconic masked pro wrestler, King.
Nike and Tekken have teamed up to create a special edition of Nike’s Air Max 1s, inspired by the popular fighting game character King. This collaboration was confirmed by Nike’s dotswoosh division on their Instagram account, where they posted a grainy video showing King wearing an alternate version of his Tekken 3 outfit. The shoes in the video feature a jaguar-print mudguard and come in two colorways: one inspired by Nike’s Low Poly edition from 2024 and a second version yet to be revealed.
It’s worth noting that King, portrayed by Kazuya in the Tekken series, is known for his love of sneakers; in fact, he even has a massive shoe collection in the game. This collaboration marks yet another big partnership for Tekken, following recent collaborations with Yujiro Hanma from Baki and Reina from Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves.
