Nike's unexpected collaborations often produce great sneakers, like the Jarritos Dunks and Ben & Jerry's hyped Dunks. Now, Nike has teamed up with the fighting video game Tekken 8 to create a standout Nike Foamposite One shoe.

 

Inspired by Tekken's main character, Kazuya Mishima, the sneakers feature a croc-skin-like overlay with purple-blue gradients, reminiscent of the "Eggplant" colorway. The Tekken 8 logo and Foamposite's one-cent motif adorn the tongues, while a "FIST" graphic with lightning bolts appears on the translucent outsole.

 

Set to release in the fall, Tekken 8's Nike Foamposites are highly anticipated and perfect for both sneakerheads and gamers.
