LEGO Nike is hitting the court again in September, with two new sets inspired by the Nike Dunk shoe line and passion for basketball.
Two new LEGO Nike sets will launch on September 1, 2025; 43010 Slam Dunk with 809 pieces for £59.99 / $69.99 / €69.99 and 43021 Dunk Trickshot with 454 pieces for £34.99 / $39.99 / €39.99.
These two new LEGO Nike sets are the second wave of products released from the new LEGO Nike theme, which began in July with the release of 43008 Nike Dunk. The theme is one part of the LEGO Group’s collaboration with Nike, which aims to combine the joy of LEGO building with the thrill of sports — chiefly basketball — and the iconic Nike lineup.
43021 Dunk Trickshot is the smallest LEGO Nike set so far, made up of 454 pieces and one minifigure, which is exclusive to the set thanks to the torso and hat/hood combo (an alternate head element is also included, providing the option of gender switching the face).

The build itself is similar in general composition to 43008 Nike Dunk; there’s a sneaker, a basketball hoop and some background décor. But the sets are substantially different, much beyond just the shoe getting a colour swap to red. 43021 Dunk Trickshot’s shoe is smaller, but it still looks to be a respectable size for the price, and it gets some functionality to boot.
The trainer sits on a Technic contraption that can launch it towards the basket, with the minifigure standing on top, ready to pull off a crazy trickshot. There’s also the option to remove the shoe from the base, which then allows for the Technic mechanism to work as a launcher for the basketball if you want to tap in and give the minifigure a rest.
43010 Slam Dunk offers a pure display model with its 809 pieces, featuring a brick-built player going in for, you guessed it, a slam dunk. The build here is significantly different than the other two LEGO Nike sets, mostly due to its focus on a human character rather than a shoe.
The player is posable at the neck, hips and a few points in the arms, but initial images suggest the legs will be mostly static and confine the model to its display stand. Different options for jersey design and hair are included, adding a welcome bit of customisability to the set.
The display stand holds one of the player’s feet — or more accurately, the sparkles shooting out of it — as well as the suggestion of a court and stadium. The hoop rises up form the base, using its height and Technic frame to provide extra support for the player as well as some decorated scoreboard elements. It does not appear to be a close game.
Both sets will be available starting September 1, 2025.
