It has been nearly a month since LEGO and Nike unveiled their inaugural product range, which includes the Dunk High in LEGO form and a collaborative version of the Nike Dunk Low. The initial teaser showcased a glossy upper that deviates from the Dunk’s traditional overlays, opting instead for a trompe l’oeil finish. Now, a complete set of official images provides a clearer glimpse of what to expect from this kids’-exclusive sneaker.
Design Features
The sneaker boasts a striking black-on-white upper adorned with the LEGO logo on the tongue and the collaborative logo at the heel. Co-branding is also evident on the sockliner and within the unique packaging. The release is scheduled for September 1, available exclusively in kids’ sizes, and will retail for $120 USD.
Ongoing Partnership
Since the beginning of the year, the partnership between LEGO and Nike has been a focal point for sneaker enthusiasts. As May draws to a close, the two brands have introduced their first set of products, which includes a 1,180-piece set that recreates the Dunk High and LEGO-themed footwear.
Earlier this week, we previewed the kid-exclusive LEGO x Nike Air Max Dn in "Tour Yellow." In addition to this release, the duo has also teased the Nike Dunk Low collaboration. The one-image preview features a unique one-piece upper, with comic-style overlays that appear to be "drawn" onto the sneaker, providing a striking contrast against the glossy white base. As with the Air Max Dn, LEGO branding appears prominently on the tongue tag.
Release Plans
Nike has outlined its release strategy for the initial rollout of this exciting partnership. The Nike Dunk LEGO set is set to launch at the beginning of July, followed by the LEGO x Nike Air Max Dn in early August. The LEGO x Nike Dunk Low is expected to hit shelves on September 1, likely as a kids-exclusive.
Stay tuned for further updates, including a complete look at this collaborative colorway, and keep an eye out for more LEGO x Nike news, as the partnership has indicated that additional footwear and apparel will be revealed later this year.
