Nike and One Piece are officially teaming up on a streetwear and footwear collection designed around the manga’s iconic Devil Fruits. Dropping three distinct iterations of the classic Air Max Plus alongside branded apparel, the range blends anime lore with archive sportswear.

Nike and One Piece release Devil Fruit Air Max Plus sneakers

The Nike x One Piece collection is based around three distinct redesigns of the Air Max Plus inspired by legendary Devil Fruits. Instead of just a simple colour swap, Nike completely retooled the uppers to mimic the iconic swirling textures of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, Mera Mera no Mi, and Ope Ope no Mi. Each pair translates the power-granting fruits into vivid purple, fiery gradient, and deep crimson that should satisfy sneakerheads and anime fans alike.

Manga-print tees and archive apparel round out the drop

The accompanying apparel lineup pairs classic streetwear silhouettes with deep lore references from the anime universe. Highlights include archive-inspired Air Max Plus jerseys, co-branded caps, and graphic T-shirts featuring Monkey D. Luffy’s crude Jolly Roger graphic. Nike also reinterpreted classic manga panels in the style of retro Nike print advertisements. There is even an orange utility vest built with a cheeky nod to the sea-aversion curse that plague Devil Fruit eaters.
