LEGO Nike Air Force 1 (43026) Announced For September 2026 Release

Your wallet is already bracing for impact. LEGO just announced the Nike Air Force 1 (43026), a 1,093-piece model of the iconic sneaker, set to drop on September 1, 2026. This isn't the first time LEGO has given the sneaker treatment to Nike, but the Air Force 1 holds a special place in fashion history, debuting way back in 1982. The set promises a detailed brick-built replica, complete with a display mount designed to look like a rocket blast against a moon surface.

Beyond the shoe itself, the set includes a brick-built AF1 logo and a unique minifigure: a space-themed astronaut performing a zero-gravity dunk. The design team has even remixed the Classic Space logo with the Nike Swoosh, a clever touch. The included basketball is also printed with the LEGO Nike logo, and the Swoosh can be swapped between orange and silver. Jay’s Brick Blog notes that the AF1s were incredibly popular a few years back, and acknowledges their cultural impact and versatility, suggesting this set will appeal strongly to Nike fans and sneakerheads. It's being compared favorably to the earlier LEGO Nike Air Max 95 Neon release.

While the build sounds interesting and the minifigure is a fun addition, LEGO's previous Nike sneaker sets have varied in appeal. The prospect of future Nike releases like the Air Mags or Cortez is exciting, but for this specific set, it's a case of waiting to see if the execution matches the hype. The release date is still a long way off, giving us ample time to deliberate.

In India, the official LEGO Nike Air Force 1 (43026) will have an MRP of ₹9,500. We expect MyBrickHouse and Toycra to list this set within 4–6 weeks of the global launch on September 1, 2026. Code ABHINAV12 takes 12% off full-price sets at Toycra, minimum order ₹500. ₹9,500 is roughly the cost of 18 months of Spotify Premium or a decent weekend trip to Goa.

Verdict: WAIT. Good set, but the price will drop.

On that bombshell, bubyee.
