Nike Air Max Plus x One Piece Gomu Gomu Releases Sept 25
Nike and One Piece have channeled the Gomu Gomu no Mi Devil Fruit into a limited Air Max Plus collaboration arriving September 25. The purple and green palette draws directly from the anime's recognizable mythology, with design details woven throughout the upper and packaging.

Design Details
The One Piece x Nike Air Max Plus "Gomu Gomu" translates a key anime artifact into footwear with restraint and precision. Space purple dominates the upper, serving as the visual foundation while raised swirl patterns across the mesh and overlays replicate the textured surface of the Gomu Gomu no Mi fruit itself. Altitude green and atomic green accents punctuate the design through the laces, tongue, lining, and TPU cage—a color split that captures the fruit's distinctive two-tone appearance without overwhelming the silhouette.
One Piece branding appears on the tongue tag, insoles, and heel counter, integrated into the design rather than dominating it. The collaborative restraint extends to the unboxing experience: the special packaging features the Straw Hat Jolly Roger alongside Nike and One Piece co-branding, with themed tissue paper and a commemorative Nike Jolly Roger card completing the presentation.
Release Strategy and Regional Availability
Nike is distributing this collaboration across multiple regions with varying access methods. In the United States, SNKRS users must complete a poll by September 18 to qualify for pre-order access; selected participants receive notification that same day, with pre-orders opening September 25. China, Mexico, and Australia will follow a standard retail release, while South Korea receives exclusive launch access on the 25th.
Air Max Plus in Collaborative Context
The Air Max Plus has become an established platform for regional and cultural collaborations in recent years, its distinctive air unit and asymmetrical structure lending itself to bold colorway interpretations. This One Piece partnership sits within a broader trend of anime-to-footwear adaptations, where source material's visual language translates directly into material and construction choices rather than serving as mere graphic overlay.
