The world of anime and sneakers collides as the long-awaited One Piece x Nike collaboration officially debuts, bringing the iconic Devil Fruits to the Air Max Plus silhouette. This collection, which has been teased for months, finally reveals its full lineup, with three colorways inspired by different Devil Fruits from the series. Among them, the Gomu Gomu edition, named after Monkey D. Luffy’s rubber fruit, is set to steal the spotlight in the United States.

The Gomu Gomu Air Max Plus is scheduled for release on September 25, 2026 via SNKRS US pre-order, following a Japan release on September 4. Priced at $180, the sneaker features a striking Space Purple/Atomic Green colorway with accents of Purple Venom, Altitude Green, Light Lemon Twist, and Sport Red. To secure a pair, US fans must participate in a poll on the SNKRS home feed from August 23 through September 18, a unique interactive approach that builds anticipation.

Beyond the sneakers, the collection includes T-shirts featuring a design inspired by the Jolly Roger, drawn as “a mark of a promise” by Luffy himself. There’s also a Nike-branded Jolly Roger emblem, adding to the collectible appeal. The collaboration’s narrative is enriched by the mysterious appearance of Poneglyphs—massive, indestructible cubes only decipherable by scholars of ancient lore—which have been popping up worldwide, hinting at the series’ deep lore.

For sneakerheads and One Piece fans alike, this release is a must-have. The Gomu Gomu edition not only celebrates a beloved character but also showcases Nike’s ability to blend storytelling with design. With its vibrant colorway and exclusive release process, this drop is poised to be one of the most talked-about sneaker events of the year. Mark your calendars and get ready to tap that poll—this is one piece you won’t want to miss.
