The highly anticipated partnership between LEGO and Nike is finally here.
First announced last August, fans have been patiently waiting to learn more about what the two iconic brands would develop. Today, the first product from the collaboration is officially available for purchase.
The LEGO Nike Dunk set channels the joyous nature of the game of basketball. The set will feature a Nike Dunk High reminiscent of the iconic Kentucky colorway. The 1,180-piece set also features a basketball hoop and a custom LEGO basketball Minifigure dubbed “B’Ball Head”. The character will, of course, be wearing Dunk Highs to match the shoe from the set.
There Nike DUNK set will also feature some interactive elements. You can spin the basketball a bit. The dunk itself comes apart and reveals itself as a storage compartment. In true sneakerhead fashion, the dunk will also come with “secondary laces” to allow for a bit of customization.
According to Nike, this introductory set is a “celebration of sneaker culture and LEGO creativity that blends the worlds of building and basketball.” This set will be the first of many, as Nike has revealed that more sets will be releasing in September. Nike will also be releasing an apparel collection with LEGO, as well as launching a Nike Dunk Low and a Nike Air Max DN later this year.
You can secure the Nike Dunk Set now via the SoleSavy Store. Though the set is available now via LEGO’s official website, you can secure your pre-order with a 25% deposit. The remaining balance will be due on the official launch date for the set, July 1st.
