Nike and the LEGO Group are kicking off a major multi-year partnership this June, combining the swoosh’s sporty energy with LEGO’s creative flair. The goal? To get kids moving, building, and imagining through a mix of co-branded products and immersive global experiences.
The partnership officially launches with exciting activations around the world and a fresh lineup of Nike x LEGO gear—including sneakers, apparel, and collectible LEGO sets. Basketball star and three-time WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson is joining the fun to help bring the spirit of play to life across digital platforms.
“I’ve loved LEGO since I was a kid,” said Wilson. “Play shaped who I am—on and off the court. I’m proud to be part of a movement that celebrates that.”
