About the release
The LEGO x Nike partnership keeps building. The Air Max 95 has become the go-to silhouette for this collab, and the latest colourway goes in a completely different direction from anything the two brands have put out together before. Where the 'Neon' was loud and colour-drenched, the Air Max 95 'Pixel Grey Black' — also known as 'Brick Pixel' — is greyscale-led, textured and design-forward. It looks like a LEGO build in progress, and that's entirely the point.
The upper is grey leather layered with pixel-style black textures meant to mimic stacked LEGO bricks. Yellow eyelets and a hot pink Air unit keep it from going too flat. It's kids-only again, covering GS and PS sizing. Style code IO4799-001.
UK release is 4 June 2026 for £114.99. Find it via Nike and select retailers. Browse all LEGO x Nike releases on Side Kicks.

Design and details
The 'Pixel Grey Black' takes the Air Max 95 somewhere it hasn't been before. The base is a grey leather upper, but that's where the straightforward part ends. Layered across the surface are pixel-style black textures designed to look like stacked LEGO bricks. It gives the shoe a deliberately unfinished, in-progress feel, like the early stages of assembling a LEGO set. It's a strong concept, and the execution sells it.
Colour accents
The greyscale base gets broken up in two places. The eyelets come in bold University Gold, which pops hard against the grey and black upper. The Air Max 95's big bubble Air unit runs in Hyper Pink, bringing the energy back up from the muted upper. Together, these two accents prevent the shoe from reading too heavy or flat.
Branding
LEGO x Nike co-branding appears on the tongue and heel spine. It's clean and uncluttered — the design does the talking and the branding confirms the collab without screaming it.

The LEGO x Nike story so far
The LEGO x Nike collaboration launched properly in summer 2025, with the Air Max 95 as its primary sneaker vehicle. The partnership has focused exclusively on kids sizing from the start, which makes sense given LEGO's audience. Every pair released under the collab has been a GS or PS drop.
The 'Neon' colourway was the collab's most visually striking release before this one, leaning into a bright, multi-colour palette that played up the toy brand identity. The 'Pixel Grey Black' goes the other way entirely. It strips the colour back and leans into the construction concept, using texture and brick-like detailing to carry the theme rather than a bold palette. Both approaches work. They're just targeting very different tastes.
The partnership has also extended beyond footwear into buildable sets, but the sneaker side has generated the most heat. The Air Max 95 silhouette suits the LEGO aesthetic well, its layered, segmented upper acting almost like a canvas for brick-by-brick design work.
