The LEGO x Nike Air Force 1 is heading to space for Holiday 2026, with a new kids-exclusive colorway inspired by astronauts and intergalactic exploration.

The upcoming release transforms the Air Force 1 into something resembling footwear from a LEGO space mission. The predominantly white upper features exposed black stitching and grey toggle laces, while diagonally striped pull tabs add to the utilitarian appearance. Space-themed graphics appear throughout, including a Swoosh depicted as a rocket orbiting a yellow planet. Behind the tongue sits another playful detail: a LEGO character that appears to be some sort of robotic or penguin-like space companion.

The theme has plenty of precedent within the LEGO universe; LEGO Space dates back to 1978, eventually expanding beyond traditional astronauts and lunar exploration into a much larger world of robots, aliens, futuristic vehicles, and interplanetary characters. There’s also a more immediate Nike connection because the brands recently released a 1,093-piece LEGO Air Force 1 set that reimagines the sneaker blasting toward the moon, complete with a lunar landscape and Nike-clad LEGO spaceman.

The kids-exclusive LEGO x Nike Air Force 1 is currently expected to release during the Holiday 2026 season.
