A year after teaming up, Lego unveils its Nike Dunk x LEGO set
If you’re a Nike fan, this Lego Nike Dunk X LEGO set could be a real shoe-in.
As collaborations go, Nike and Lego isn’t the strangest we could imagine. When we first heard of this creative partnership last year, we imagined Lego-themed sportswear, a host of Nike mini-sets and more. And now, the first set is here, the Nike Dunk x LEGO 43008 Set, and it’s kind of cool.
We’re not entirely on board with the big DUNK logo, not least because we were hoping for a Lego Nike Air Max trainer, but we can see this taking pride of place on some sports fans’ shelves. Rated for builders aged 10+, we can picture young Lego fans building this with their adults, and the minifigure also adds a little play potential.
On top of that, the mini basketball spins and the minifig can be concealed within the shoe. There doesn’t appear to be a tiny steering wheel in there, but it’s still a cool touch. We’re slightly concerned about the pallor of the figure, who Lego states is “super fan B’Ball Head”. We hope that’s a mask, and not that he went through some kind of illegal head-inflating surgery to attain that look.
The shoe also boasts different coloured ‘laces’, and several other cool touches. Here are the specs if you’re a Nike fan and are considering picking up this set.
- Ages: 10+
- Pieces: 1180
- Minifigures: 1
- Dimensions: H -10″ (25cm), W – 15″ (38cm), D – 6″ (13cm)

The set is released this July 1st, though you can pre-order from Lego it right now, if you’re worried about missing out. And while this is the only Nike set Lego has made, the company has confirmed there are more in the works.
