SpaceX employees were seen wearing a custom Nike Tennis Classic sneaker while ringing the Nasdaq opening bell earlier this month. The special ceremony took place on June 12, 2026 at SpaceX’s headquarters known as Starbase in Texas. Custom Nike sneakers appeared to become part of the ritual somehow.
Nike’s tennis classic silhouette was rendered in a dark green colorway. There are white accents on the iconic Swooshes, laces, lining, and midsoles. You can spot a SpaceX logo on each heel, while the rest of the shoe appears untouched.
Were these Nike sneakers custom-made for SpaceX? We don’t know. Nike could have gifted the sneakers to SpaceX for the bell ringing ceremony. But they could also have came from SpaceX’s own custom locker. There hasn’t been any official information about the history of the sneakers.
There are currently no plans to make this shoe available to the public. From what we can tell, they were made in limited quantities for SpaceX employees that worked the bell ceremony.
