LEGO and Nike are finally ready to drain your wallets. The powerhouse duo announced a blockbuster multi-year partnership in August of last year, promising a “series of co-branded products, content, and experiences.” Now, after a period of anticipatory silence, the fruits of their labor are materializing: alongside Nike’s first LEGO-themed sneaker (more on that here), the two labels have unveiled their inaugural LEGO kit, a 1,180-piece Nike Dunk set.
The buildable kit features a Nike Dunk, a movable brick basketball toy, and a standing “Dunk” logo. Notably, the Nike Dunk model is equipped with hidden storage compartments for “championship rings or other essentials, as well as extra laces for custom color swap-outs.”

“Inspired by the iconic sneaker, first born and worn over 40 years ago, this set is a celebration of sneaker culture and LEGO creativity that blends the worlds of building and basketball,” the companies explained.
Alongside the buildable Nike Dunk, the set comes with a basketball minifigure known as B’Ball Head, who wears a “Nike 72” jersey with a miniature pair of the featured sneaker.
The LEGO Nike Dunk set is set to go on sale on July 1 for $99.99 USD, but the kit is already available for pre-order on LEGO’s webshop. Take a look at the design in the gallery above.
