I’m not saying LEGO and Nike teaming up is the collaboration we never knew we needed, but it’s definitely the one nobody really saw coming.
If you’re a sneakerhead with a love for bricks, or a LEGO fan who’s always wished you could dunk, your dreams just got a little bit closer with two new sets arriving this September.
The Slam Dunk and Dunk Trickshot sets come with everything from posable basketball stars to mini Nike sneakers you can actually flip—because why should shoes be just for your feet, right?
All About the Two New LEGO Nike Sets
Overview of Slam Dunk (43010)
The Slam Dunk set, number 43010, brings a basketballer right into your living room—frozen mid-dunk in a fully poseable, jointed humanoid form.
This isn’t your average stiff LEGO minifigure; it has articulation that lets you twist and turn it like a pro athlete.
Inside the box, you get a neat little Nike Dunk Low sneaker in the “St John’s” colorway. It’s compact but packed with detail.
There’s also a mini fan wearing a hoodie and a cap, watching the big play unfold.
At 809 pieces, it strikes a balance between display and playability. Honestly, I kinda want to see if this player can knock down my snack bowl while mid-air.
Breakdown of Dunk Trickshot (43021)
The Dunk Trickshot set, 43021, takes a more budget-friendly approach with fewer pieces—454 in total.
This one’s about precision, featuring a setup to replicate that perfect basketball trick shot.
It’s smaller and simpler than Slam Dunk, but don’t sleep on it. It comes with a slick little build and a minifigure decked out in streetwear that makes it feel authentically sporty.
Perfect if you want a taste of LEGO Nike but without committing your entire paycheck.
Ideal for desk display or casual play, it’s the kind of set you can flex subtly in an office meeting and then quietly pocket at the end.
Release Date and Pricing
Mark your calendars for September 1, 2025—both sets drop on the same day.
What better way to kick off fall than with fresh kicks and bricks?
Pricing is pretty clear-cut:
The Slam Dunk is the pricier, more ambitious build, while Dunk Trickshot offers a wallet-friendly entry point.
And hey, considering these are official LEGO x Nike sets, that’s a fair deal for combining iconic brands in one box. My bank account, though, might have something to say about it.
Customization, Unique Features, and Collectibility
These LEGO Nike sets aren’t just about stacking bricks; there’s plenty to tweak, pose, and proudly display.
Whether you’re into personalizing your player or geeking out over exclusive minifigures, these models serve up both style and functionality.
Customization and Playability Features
What really caught my eye is the Slam Dunk set’s posable basketball player.
You can swap hairstyles and customize the Nike jersey and trainers with different numbers and trim. It’s basically the LEGO version of picking your fantasy team’s MVP.
The Dunk Trickshot set adds some flair with a mini lever that mimics dunking action—yep, you can actually make the shoe “dunk” without breaking a sweat.
The sneaker’s removable, so if you’re feeling creative, you can turn it into the centerpiece of a custom basketball game.
Minifigures and New Elements
Now, about those minifigures—both play hard and look cool. The Dunk Trickshot comes with a minifigure that has two head options.
There’s also a hoodie inspired by the real-life drip of the LEGO Nike collab. Nothing says “baller” like an exclusive figure rocking fresh gear, right?
The Slam Dunk set lets me bring the crowd to life with spectators. There are details like a scoreboard and a championship banner.
These extras add some real atmosphere. It’s not just bricks and a hoop—there’s a whole vibe here.
Collectors, you get unique parts and figures that stand out from regular LEGO sets. Honestly, they’re worth the shelf space next to your sneaker collection.
