Nike's collaboration with the Tekken franchise introduces the limited-edition Tekken 8 Air Foamposite One, set to release in September. Inspired by Kazuya Mishima, the iridescent design features unique Tekken 8 iconography, promising a must-have collector's item for sneaker and gaming enthusiasts alike.
Kazuya Mishima-Inspired Design Features Iridescent Upper, Croc-Skin Overlay, and Unique Tekken 8 Details
A brief description of the design: the Air Foamposite One boasts an entirely iridescent upper and a croc-skin overlay that resembles the exotic leathers found on the jacket of Kazuya Mishima, one of the central characters of the entire Tekken series. According to Sneaker News, the seamless black plate at the mid-foot is a nod to the Tekken 8 game interface, and the leather on the collar that encircles the ankle and laces is a tribute to the character's iconic leather jacket.
The unique design of the Tekken Foamposites extends beyond the shoes themselves. The left tongue and insole feature Tekken 8 iconography, while the translucent rubber reveals Mishima's signature Fist technique in the distinctive outsole design. But it's not just the shoes that are unique. The packaging for the Tekken Foamposites is an experience in itself. Unlike a traditional shoe box, it splits open in the center, securing both shoes with elastic straps, making it a unique collector's item for any sneaker enthusiast or Tekken fan.
Official Images Released on National Video Game Day Highlight Tekken 8 Air Foamposite Launch
The emergence of official images on National Video Game Day observed on July 8, 2024, is not coincidental. It's a nod to the significance of this day in the gaming community. The source reported that they can confirm that the release of the Tekken Foamposites is scheduled for September, with the possibility of earlier releases. This connection to National Video Game Day adds extra excitement to the release.
If you are an avid Tekken lover and possess a comprehensive understanding of the character biographies, you would recognize that this collaboration is more coincidental than it appears. In the earliest character bio from Tekken 1, Kazuya Mishima, the inspiration behind the design of this Foamposite, is verified to be a sneaker collector.
