No matter if you’re a die-hard NBA fanatic, the proud owner of all the latest and greatest Nike Dunk sneakers, or have a soft spot for playing with Legos (who doesn’t?), we’re here to introduce something that will put an instant smile on your face and provide the ideal excuse for staying in this fall season: the Nike Dunk Trickshot x Lego Set, which is the latest arrival to the two brands’ already-iconic collaboration.
Because making trickshots is harder in real life than it is in miniature, Lego-brick form, the 454-piece building set allows you to dream big and envision a career as a professional basketball player. What to look forward to here? A vibrant, street-style-coded graffiti wall that you’ll be able to construct before jumping on the task of assembling a classic Nike low-top sneaker in white-and-red, as well as a basketball player figurine (whose hoodie- and cap-powered ‘fit we’re all frankly jealous of), a basketball hoop, and the court itself.

Are the pieces sized to scale? Absolutely not. Will you have the time of your life creating a free throw–making, point-scoring basketball setup? There’s no doubt about it. Even more fun is guaranteed vis-à-vis the Lego set’s mini lever that you can press and release to make actual dunks. And, for an extra touch of the interactive, the kit is compatible with Lego’s Builder app, on which you can access detailed building instructions, zoom into the model, and get a firm sense of the progress you’re making.
If you’re well above the age of 10, you’ll likely get this kit up and running in no time at all, but we urge you to savor the process, shoot your shot, and then repurpose the incredibly true-to-life Nike Dunk as a piece of decor in your man cave. (Maybe practicing trickshots with your teeny-tiny, dripped-out figurine and Lego shoe will help you get better at the actual game.)
If you happen to get hooked on the purchase, there are two more to make where it came from: specifically, the Nike Slam Dunk x Lego Set featuring a detailed scoreboard and the Nike Dunk x Lego Set with its blue-and-white Nike high-top at center.
For taking all of that athleticism and baller-off-court style to the actual streets, don’t overlook the footwear and attire that’s part of the Nike x Lego collection either. Our editors particularly have our eyes on the Nike x Lego Collection Everyday Essentials Crew Socks, whose three vibrant colorways will take your sartorial equations to new heights, and the Nike x Lego Collection Heritage Backpack, which couldn’t be a better back-to-school gift if it tried.
