Nike and Tekken Team Up For a King-Inspired Air Max Shoe
Nike’s dotswoosh division has confirmed a collaboration with Tekken, showing the series’ masked wrestler King wearing an unreleased Air Max 1 design. The partnership matters to fans of both brands and may also bring Tekken-themed clothing, though Nike has yet to share full details.

Two Air Max 1 colourways are expected: one appears to draw on the Low Poly edition released in 2024, while the second has not been revealed. King’s Nike Tech Fleece outfit hints at a possible apparel range; Tekken has previously referenced sneaker culture through characters such as Kazuya.
