A jaguar-print Air Max 1 is the first look at what’s next for Tekken and Nike, with King wearing the shoe in a new .SWOOSH teaser. The masked wrestler appears at Nike’s campus dressed in Tech Fleece, giving the collaboration a different focus after the Tekken Air Foamposite One released in 2024.

Two sneakers are reportedly coming, both inspired by King’s outfits. The pair in the teaser is the Tekken x Nike Air Max 1 Low Poly, while a standard Air Max 1 will arrive in Game Blue/Speed Yellow. Only the Low Poly version has been shown so far.

Navy and red cover much of the teased pair, with jaguar print running along the mudguard. It’s a direct reference to King’s mask and the most recognizable detail visible in the footage. The teaser doesn’t get close enough to offer a full breakdown of the materials or smaller branding touches, so those details will have to wait for better images.

The use of the Low Poly version brings another Air Max 1 variation into the Tekken project. That edition debuted in late 2024 and will sit alongside the standard model here, giving the upcoming release two different takes on the same silhouette. How the Game Blue/Speed Yellow pair references King’s outfits remains to be seen.

King’s Nike Tech Fleece also appears in the teaser, raising the possibility that the shoes could be joined by clothing. For now, though, the outfit is part of the preview rather than confirmation of an apparel collection.

The Tekken x Nike Air Max 1 Low Poly and Air Max 1 are expected to release during Holiday 2026, with each pair priced at $160. An exact release date has yet to be announced.
