Tekken publisher Bandai Namco and Nike, purveyors of fine footwear, are teaming up for a sneaker collaboration. The fun throwdown is part of the franchise's 30th Anniversary celebrations, and a pair of your own will run you $250 or your local equivalent, likely much more on the sneakerhead black market.
As reported by footwear aficionados Sole Retriever, two pairs of Tekken 8 x Nike Air Foamposite One Fist sneakers are slated for release in September 2024 (thanks, VGC). The designs are based on series staples Kazuya and Jin and will be available through Nike and select retailers. Hypebeasts and fighting game fans will probably snap these up, so if you're a fan of conversation-starting footwear and Tekken, you'll likely want to get in quickly.
What do you think of this collaboration between Bandai Namco and Nike? Will you be fighting for a pair of your own? Make sure to properly care for and maintain the value of your shoes in the comments section below.

Ew. No thank you.
The shoe market is just the stock market for young evil capitalists instead of old evil capitalists.
@CutchuSlow i agree, they look absolutely awful.
Sneaky, put tag team in the title and everyone gives a read. These shoes are hideous, but people will buy these for sure
damn those are hard 🔥 they really giving off that “black air force energy” to wear to my local waffle house
i really want them though
WHAT ARE THOSEEE
They may well be the ugliest trainers I've ever seen.
They look ugly but at least they are expensive
Yeah, echoing the sentiments of most, in that those are horrible to look at. Not even anything vaguely Tekken about them. Saw a mock-up on twitter of some Nike hi-tops with a purple snakeskin design (imitation Kazuya coat) and they looked infinitely better.
They look like they were just laid by a giant alien worm.
They give 90s Space Jam.. I might be sold.
