King has spent decades throwing opponents around the ring. Now the jaguar-masked luchador is getting two Nike Air Max 1s of his own.

The Tekken x Nike Air Max 1 collection marks round two for Nike and Bandai Namco, who gave Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama their own Air Foamposite Ones in 2024. This time, it’s King’s turn to headline.
Two Air Max 1s, One Jaguar Mask
Nike .SWOOSH teased the collection with King at its Oregon headquarters, dressed in blue Tech Fleece with matching Air Max 1s on his feet. The pair in question is the Air Max 1 Low Poly, which takes its cues from Tekken 3. Navy and French Blue set up a shot of red across the Swoosh, while a jaguar-print mudguard gives King’s mask a second outing. A white midsole and grey outsole keep the rest of the palette quiet.
The best detail is in the cut of the panels. Their angular edges mimic the chunky 3D graphics of the PlayStation era, as if the shoe had stepped out of the character select screen. The second pair keeps the classic Air Max 1 shape, with bright yellow and blue uppers and the same jaguar spots.
When Does The Tekken x Nike Air Max 1 Collection Release?
The Tekken 8 Fight Pass has already opened the wardrobe. Round 12 runs from 11 November 2026 to 17 February 2027 and includes two in-game Nike trainers, plus a matching top and bottoms for your fighter.
For the physical trainers, Sneaker Files and House of Heat report a Holiday 2026 release window and a $160 US retail price. Matching apparel has also been previewed. Nike has yet to confirm an exact drop date, UK pricing or where you’ll be able to buy the collection.
