Nike is expanding its licensed consumer products roster through an upcoming collaboration with Japanese manga and anime franchise One Piece, according to reporting by License Global.
The worldwide rollout centers on three distinct variations of Nike's Air Max Plus silhouette, accompanied by a dedicated line of branded apparel. The capsule draws aesthetic cues from the property's Devil Fruits storyline.
Consumers will see an initial physical activation footprint prior to the digital availability. Pop-up retail installations are scheduled to launch across 19 cities worldwide starting September 4.
The broader commercial release will follow later in the month. According to License Global, the full footwear and apparel collection is slated to drop on Nike's SNKRS platform on September 25.
## Licensing Context
The deal underscores footwear manufacturers' continued reliance on high-engagement entertainment intellectual property to drive limited-edition retail drops. With One Piece sustaining strong international visibility across publishing, television, and streaming, Nike is targeting an established collector demographic that bridges streetwear enthusiasts and dedicated anime fandom.
