Nike and LEGO are sending kids’ basketball into orbit this holiday season. The companies have unveiled a space-themed collection of nike lego basketball sneakers built around two shoes: the Air Force 1 Low LV8 and the S.T. Dynamite.
The launch extends a multi-year partnership that began in August 2025 with the LEGO x Nike Air Max Dn in bright yellow. It arrives about a month after the release of Jordan’s 30th-anniversary Space Jam collection.
The two shoes share a theme but little else. One looks like a spacesuit. The other looks like a frozen planet. Nike describes the collection as “created for basketball-loving kids” and says it “gives young athletes new ways to connect with the sport.”
If the LEGO element caught your eye, you may enjoy LEGO’s 1,849-piece Joker mosaic in 3D, which shows how bricks can build large-scale comic art.
Two sneakers, two worlds
The Air Force 1 Low LV8 takes its look from an astronaut’s spacesuit. Sketched stitch lines give the upper a constructed feel, and a LEGO space-themed Swoosh adds to the look.
The S.T. Dynamite goes the other way. The S.T. Dynamite seems prepared for a game in an icy blizzard. A glittering outsole and a color-shifting finish are meant to evoke an “ice planet.”
Both models come in kids’ sizes from 10.5C to 7Y, making them practical choices among kids basketball shoes.
Design details of the nike lego basketball sneakers
The Air Force 1 Low LV8 keeps the recognizable Air Force 1 shape but swaps in a spacesuit-inspired upper. The LEGO-styled Swoosh and minifigure details make the shoe feel playful without losing its basketball roots.
The S.T. Dynamite carries the space theme further. Its multidirectional treads, bouncy foam cushioning and lightweight upper are built for play on the court. The shoe is aimed at kids who want their gear to look like it belongs beyond Earth.

Apparel and availability
The collection extends beyond footwear. It includes printed ripstop trousers, a graphic T-shirt, and Dri-FIT basketball shorts printed with a lunar landscape.
A full-zip fleece hoodie carries a basketball minifigure patch that changes as the wearer moves. The pair of basketball sneakers is available in North America from November 24, and in stores elsewhere from November 2.
The collection puts the kids’ court somewhere new. For young players, the choice between a lunar landscape and an icy planet may matter as much as the game itself.
