The LEGO® Nike Dunk Low GS is here, and it’s everything you’d expect from a collaboration between two iconic brands, except, unfortunately, it’s not for adults. Set to drop on September 1, 2025, this sneaker is part of the ongoing LEGO® Nike partnership, and while it’s only available in grade school sizes (up to 7Y), it’s still a must-see for LEGO® enthusiasts and sneakerheads alike.
The design is clean, playful, and undeniably LEGO®-inspired. The Sail/Black-Rush Red colorway keeps things fresh, with bold black outlines that give it a graphic, almost sketch-like appearance. The multi-colored laces add a pop of fun, mirroring the colors of the LEGO® logo. And yes, the LEGO® branding is front and center, on the tongue and the heel tab, because if you’re wearing these, you want everyone to know you’re built for fans.
But here’s the kicker: the shoe box isn’t just a box. It’s also storage for LEGO® bricks, because why should your sneakers and your bricks live separate lives? It’s a small detail, but it’s the kind of thoughtful touch that makes this release special.
Why These Sneakers Feel Like a LEGO® Set
If you’ve ever built a LEGO® Nike Dunk set (43008), you’ll see the parallels. The sneaker itself feels like a wearable extension of the LEGO® experience. The black outlines on the white base are reminiscent of LEGO® brick designs, though some might argue it leans a bit into Joshua Vides’ signature style. Still, the intent is clear: these are meant to spark creativity. Maybe Nike and LEGO® want kids (and let’s be honest, adults too) to grab a marker and customize their kicks. After all, LEGO® is all about building your own story, right?
The LEGO® Nike Dunk Low GS follows the LEGO® Nike Air Max DN, which drops in August, but it’s a different beast entirely. Where the Air Max DN is bold and chunky, this Dunk Low is sleek and wearable. It’s the kind of sneaker you could see kids rocking at school or on the playground, and parents secretly wishing came in their size.
The Biggest Letdown: No Adult Sizes
Here’s the hard truth: if you’re over the age of 12, you’re out of luck. The GS (Grade School) sizing means these are strictly for the younger crowd. If you’ve got tiny feet, you might squeeze into a 7Y, but for most adults, this is a look-don’t-touch situation. It’s a shame, really, because these are arguably the most wearable LEGO® sneakers yet.
For now, if you’re craving that LEGO® Nike fix, your best bet is the 43008 LEGO® Nike Dunk set, which lets you build your own version of the iconic shoe. But let’s be real, nothing beats the real thing.
Final Thoughts: A Fun Release with a Size Limitation
The LEGO® Nike Dunk Low GS is a win for kids and collectors, but it leaves adults wanting more. The design is sharp, the details are clever, and the LEGO® branding is on point. If Nike and LEGO® ever decide to bless us with an adult version, we’ll be first in line.
Until then, we’ll just have to admire from afar, or live vicariously through the little ones who get to lace these up. And who knows? Maybe this is just the beginning. After all, LEGO® and Nike have proven they can build something special together. Here’s hoping they expand the sizing soon.
What do you think? Would you rock these if they came in your size?
