Sneakerheads and LEGO enthusiasts, your worlds are about to collide. What began as viral, fan-created ideas has become a reality: Nike and LEGO are officially collaborating for several years. Together, they’re merging bricks and sneakers into one universe, blending play and performance in a way only these two giants could envision.
The initial step in this partnership is the LEGO® Nike Dunk, a buildable set that reimagines one of Nike’s most iconic silhouettes through LEGO’s playful perspective. With 1,180 pieces, the set features a rotatable brick basketball toy and the well-known “Dunk” slogan that you can build, rebuild, and proudly display. Designed for ages 10 and up, it serves as both a collectible and a creative project — a release that attracts both sneaker fans and LEGO enthusiasts.
Best of all, you won’t have to wait long. The LEGO® Nike Dunk set launches on July 1, 2025, marking the start of a series of sneaker releases, apparel, and accessories that will roll out throughout the year. With Nike and LEGO partnering up, this is more than just a collaboration — it’s the beginning of a movement where childhood imagination blends with streetwear culture. Now
Now that we’ve got the introduction out of the way, let’s get a closer look!
The highlight of this collaboration’s debut is the LEGO® Nike Dunk set (43008), which will be released on July 1, 2025. Made for fans aged 10 and older, the set includes 1,180 pieces that enable you to recreate the Dunk in true LEGO style. From the instantly recognizable shape to clever little details, it’s as much a display piece as it is a building challenge.
Along with the sneaker itself, builders will receive a rotatable brick basketball toy and the bold “Dunk” slogan, which can be assembled, disassembled, and customized to match your style. Sized at 9.5 inches (25 cm) high and 15 inches (38 cm) wide, it’s a striking model that commands attention whether displayed on your desk, in your sneaker showcase, or next to your LEGO collection.
