Crossovers between sneakers and gaming are nothing new. We’ve seen Nike SB Dunks themed after video games like Ms. Pacman and Skate or Die and the PlayStation console has been featured by the likes of Paul George and Travis Scott. However, none of these gaming theme kicks can pack a punch like the upcoming Tekken 8 x Nike Air Foamposite One “Fist”.
Since its inception in 1994, Tekken has held a reputation as one of the most storied combat-based video game franchises of all time. The newest installment, Tekken 8, debuted earlier this year and is now being honored with its very own Foamposite. The Tekken 8 x Nike Air Foamposite One “Fist” features a base black upper layered with a reptilian-scaled deep blue-purple design. The insole and tongue are dressed with Tekken 8 logos while the icy blue sole has the “Fist” moniker embedded on the undercarriage. Perhaps the best feature of the “Fist” Foamposites is the box, the two-piece slide-out casing features Tekken 8 imagery and a fold-apart style opening in place of a standard lid.
Gamers can expect to see the Tekken 8 x Nike Air Foamposite One “Fist” release in the Fall of 2024. The shoes will run $250 and will drop via the SNKRS App and other select retailers. For more updates on the “Fist” and all your other sneaker news follow us on Twitter and Instagram.
