Tekken 8 x Nike Air Foamposite One Lands September 2024

Binding the realms of gaming and footwear, Tekken 8 and Nike team up for the Air Foamposite One.

When it comes to experimental collaborations, Nike is certainly no stranger. Releasing partnerships with everyone from Ben & Jerry’s to Spongebob – over the years, we’ve become accustomed to expecting the unexpected. Proving our point correct indeed, the Swoosh turns its attention to the popular video game, Tekken 8. Adopting the archival Air Foamposite One silhouette with an iridescent edge, this one is for enthusiasts of both gaming and sneakers simultaneously. 

A Closer Look at the Tekken 8 x Nike Air Foamposite One (FQ9050-400)…

As aforementioned, the standout of this hue has to be the gleaming shell exterior. Based around one of the core characters of the series, Kazuya Mishima, the sneaker boasts a croc-skin overlay that resembles his eccentric jacket. Swapping out the traditional carbon-fibre midfoot for a sleek black plate, these unique kicks exude an immaculately clean feel, additionally evident within the leather collar. 

Proudly adorning the insole and left tongue, Tekken 8 iconography marks its territory. And it couldn’t be a Kazuya Mishima dedicated sneaker without paying tribute to the character’s signature Fist move, which shines through the translucent rubber outsole. Looking towards the packaging, these special Tekken Foamposites utilise a split-open box that holds the shoes in place with the help of elastic straps. After all, such a unique collaboration causes for a unique box!
