Nike and Tekken Tease King-Inspired Air Max 1 Collaboration
Nike has confirmed an upcoming collaboration with Tekken, the fighting game series.
A video posted by Nike’s dotswoosh account shows masked wrestler King wearing an unreleased Air Max 1 design.
The shoes appear to have a jaguar-print panel with navy, gray and red colors, though the grainy video makes details hard to see.
Two colorways are expected, including one based on the Low Poly edition first released in 2024.
King is a long-running Tekken character, and the series has featured sneaker culture through characters such as Kazuya.
Nike has not yet revealed the shoes officially, and a possible Tekken clothing line has not been confirmed.
Nike’s dotswoosh division confirmed an upcoming collaboration with Tekken featuring the masked wrestler King.
A video posted by Nike’s dotswoosh Instagram account on November 9, 2026, shows King wearing an unseen variation of Air Max 1 shoes.

SneakerNews reported that the collaboration will include two Air Max 1 colorways, though Nike has not officially revealed them.
King’s Nike Tech Fleece outfit has prompted speculation that a Tekken-themed apparel line may also be coming.
