Tekken 8 publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment and Nike are teaming up to launch a special batch of sneakers in September 2024 as part of the series’ ongoing 30th anniversary celebrations.
Two pairs of Tekken 8 x Nike Air Foamposite One Fist sneakers will be released via Nike, SNKRS, and select retailers. The designs are based on father and son, Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama, respectively, and will retail for $250 and come in men’ sizes.

Tekken 8 was released for the PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S in January 2024. The game’s storyline focuses on the final confrontation between Kazuya and Jin, following the death of Heihachi at the claims of Tekken 7. In addition to the story campaign, there’s the usual splattering of single-player offerings such as Practice Mode, bite-sized Character Episodes, plus of course the main draw — Ranked and non-Ranked online battles.
Bandai Namco also included a dedicated Tekken Fight Lounge where you can mingle with other players and battle, as well as the Arcade Quest, where you follow a group of friends as they attempt to take on the Tekken World Tour. This also acts as a tutorial, which is handy.
While on the subject of the sneakers, it’s actually quite fitting that Tekken 8 is getting its own brand, as longtime fans will know that Kazuya’s hobby is actually collecting sneakers!
