The brief
Nike is set to launch a One Piece‑themed Air Max Plus Devil Fruits collection in September 2026. The line pairs the sneaker silhouette with streetwear pieces, drawing visual cues from the series’ Devil Fruit powers. Two models are identified by fruit names – “Mera Mera no Mi” and “Gomu Gomu no Mi” – and the rollout is described as targeting the Japanese market. Coverage of the drop appears across a range of outlets. SoraNews24 and Crunchyroll announce the collaboration and note its Devil Fruit focus.
Nice Kicks publishes release‑date information for both fruit‑named shoes, while Yahoo and WWD echo the “highly anticipated” label. Hypebeast lists the partnership under its collaboration tag, and an official Nike statement on the About Nike site frames the collection as turning imagination into motion for adventurers. Sole Retriever also reports the September release schedule. The partnership leans on One Piece’s status as a long‑running manga and anime whose Devil Fruit concept is instantly recognizable to fans worldwide. Nike’s history of partnering with pop‑culture franchises positions the brand to tap into that enthusiasm.
In Japan, limited‑edition sneaker drops generate strong streetwear demand, making the fusion of a beloved series with a flagship sneaker model a natural fit for collectors and casual fans alike. Future coverage may reveal additional fruit variants, expanded apparel pieces, or specific retail partners. Observers will watch for launch‑event details, point‑of‑sale locations, and early consumer response, which could signal the scope of any subsequent collaborations between Nike and the One Piece franchise.
