LEGO and Nike have announced 43026 Nike Air Force 1 x LEGO Set, a display model of the sneaker Nike first released in 1982. It uses 1,093 pieces, measures roughly 35 cm wide, and costs $99.99, out 1 September 2026.
Notably, it isn't a straight scale replica of the shoe.

The concept
The white AF1 is mounted on a rocket-thruster stand above a lunar surface display base, with a giant footprint pressed into the ground carrying the Air Force 1 outsole tread pattern. The framing is a moon landing, with the sneaker as the lander.
It's a more interesting decision than a 1:1 shoe would have been. LEGO has built sneakers before; building the idea of the shoe arriving somewhere gives the model a reason to be a display piece.
The dunk mechanism
A classic LEGO spaceman minifigure in Nike-styled clothing stands on the base, with an interchangeable head. Turn the dial built into the model and the spaceman performs a 360-degree dunk.
That single mechanism is what ties the three ingredients together — Nike's basketball heritage, LEGO's Classic Space callback, and the shoe itself.
Value per brick
At the announced US price:
- $99.99 ÷ 1,093 = 9.1 cents per piece
Good value for a licensed collaboration set. Brand tie-ups often carry a licensing premium that pushes them past 11 cents; landing just above 9 while including a working mechanism and a printed minifigure is on the favourable side.
European pricing outlook
Only a US price has been announced. A $99.99 set typically maps to a euro RRP around €100–110, so expect something in that range — an expectation, not a confirmed figure. Exact euro and per-country pricing will follow as soon as European retailers list it.
When BrickPrice will track it
Once 43026 is listed in Europe it will appear on BrickPrice with live prices across 40+ EU stores, price history and all-time-low alerts.
One thing to weigh: brand collaborations often have shorter production runs than mainline sets, and our retired-set data shows sets that leave the retail channel quickly stop being discounted well before they disappear. The retired sets pages show how that plays out; the 2026 new releases page shows what we already track.
