It is official. Tekken has confirmed its new project with Nike .SWOOSH, and the Tekken Nike Air Max 1 collection now has a full lineup: two Air Max 1 pairs inspired by King, plus an apparel collection built around fighters from the game. Both sneakers are set for Holiday 2026, with the exact date and euro price still TBA.
Two Air Max 1 pairs with King’s leopard print
Both pairs carry the leopard pattern from King’s mask, the most famous face in Tekken. The Tekken x Nike Air Max 1 Low Poly ‘Combo’ (IW1290-001) comes in Neutral Grey/French Blue/Chile Red. It mixes a grey leopard print with blue panels and a bright red Swoosh, sitting on the angular Low Poly version of the Air Max 1.
The Tekken x Nike Air Max 1 ‘Combo’ (IW1296-900) is the louder of the two. Game Blue and Speed Yellow lead the colorway, with the leopard print in warm tones, a blue Swoosh, black and yellow side panels with King lettering and a purple lining around the collar.
Apparel inspired by Tekken fighters
The collaboration goes beyond footwear. A matching apparel collection takes its cues from fighters in the game, so the drop works for gamers who want more than a pair of sneakers. The first hint came with the teaser, where King showed up on the Nike campus in a Nike Tech Fleece. You can still find that first look in our Tekken x Nike Air Max 1 teaser story.
From the Foamposite to the Air Max 1
This is not the first time Tekken and Nike work together. In 2024 the partnership started with the Tekken 8 x Nike Air Foamposite One. The Tekken Nike Air Max 1 collection is the next step, with two pairs and clothing instead of a single shoe.
