The third and last Devil Fruit lands Friday, September 25. The One Piece x Nike Air Max Plus "Gomu Gomu," style code IR0968-500, in Space Purple, Venom and Atomic Green, is the pair Nike is putting on SNKRS worldwide, and per Nike's own launch page it runs as a SNKRS Pre-Order in the U.S., Japan and select European countries, standard SNKRS in China, Mexico and Australia, and Exclusive Access in Korea. Sneaker Bar Detroit has it at $210. It is Luffy's fruit, so it is the one everybody wanted, and Nike saved it for the widest net.
How the trilogy rolled out
Nike's August press release laid out the whole tour: Tokyo pop-up September 4 to 6, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taipei on the 11th, Jakarta, Mexico City, Seoul and Umeda on the 12th, then the West on the 19th, then the global SNKRS drop on the 25th, with a Sydney event October 16 to 18. Nick Remlinger, Nike's GM for what it calls Energy Gaming, said the team was "inspired by the superhuman abilities" the Straw Hats get when they eat a fruit.
"Mera Mera" (Ace's fire, orange and yellow) went to Asia and Mexico on September 12 through select retailers only. "Ope Ope" (Law's room, Very Berry and Green Quartz) hit the U.S. and Europe on Saturday, September 19, and never touched SNKRS. Sole Retriever listed the entire retailer map: Arts & Rec in San Diego, Politics in Dallas, Sole Play in Decatur and Lawrenceville, Somewhere in D.C., plus Patta, Afew, Offspring, Footdistrict, One Block Down and SNS in Europe. Sneaker News had Arts & Rec running an in-store raffle and Sole Play's raffle closed days before the drop.
The shoe is not a normal Air Max Plus
This is the detail that separates it from the usual anime print job. Nike retooled the upper: the Tn's signature TPU cage is gone, replaced by swirled Devil Fruit detailing across the panels, so the silhouette reads as Sean McDowell's 1998 design from ten feet and as something else up close. Jolly Roger on the tongue tag. The apparel, T-shirts with manga panels, jerseys, caps and a vest, launches on SNKRS alongside the Gomu Gomu pair, and Nike added a "DON!! Cards" premium card collection to the program in early September.
Who got the Ope Ope pairs
Look at the U.S. list again. Sole Play in metro Atlanta, Politics in Dallas, Somewhere in D.C., Arts & Rec in San Diego. That is a boutique-first drop that put Black-owned and Black-run shops at the front of the line for a $210 anime collab, which is not how Nike usually treats a licensed property. Somewhere in D.C. ran a SNKRS Pass; Arts & Rec, in PHRHX's own city, did it in-store. The pairs that came out of those doors are already on the resale sites, which tells you the allocation was small.
Friday is the opposite: pre-order, no size runs cut short, no raffle. If you wanted Law, you needed a boutique. If you want Luffy, you need the app.
The take
One Piece is 29 years old and the biggest manga on earth, and Eiichiro Oda's ownership of it is the reason Toei, Shueisha and now Nike all have to come to the table. That is the model: the creator held the IP, so the creator gets paid on the shoe. The Air Max Plus, meanwhile, is the shoe that Black and brown kids in Foot Locker made a thing in the late '90s, long before Nike put it in a heritage campaign. Friday is the two histories meeting on one upper, and the check for one of them clears in Tokyo.
Get on SNKRS Friday morning, and if you slept on Ope Ope, call Arts & Rec anyway.
