Bearbrick x Nike: When Streetwear Meets Collectible Art

A user picture

When Bearbrick and Nike team up, it’s more than a collab, it’s a culture moment.

Bearbrick (stylized as BE@RBRICK), the collectible toy line from Japan’s Medicom Toy, is known for its iconic bear-shaped figures that serve as a blank canvas for artists, designers, and brands. Nike, of course, needs no intro, its sneaker collabs often define streetwear trends. Together, they’ve created some of the most hyped crossovers in both the sneaker and designer toy worlds.

One of their most memorable drops? The Nike SB Dunk Low x Medicom Toy Bearbrick in 2020. Featuring black faux fur, clean white midsoles, and Bearbrick branding on the heel tab, the sneakers blended playful design with street-ready appeal. It followed earlier collabs like the denim-covered Nike SB Dunk Medicom 1 from the mid-2000s, a classic in both sneaker and toy circles.

What makes this pairing special is the overlap between two passionate communities: collectors and sneakerheads. Whether it’s a 1000% Bearbrick rocking Nike gear or a sneaker that looks like a toy, each release brings something creative, fresh, and collectible to the table.

No new Bearbrick x Nike drops are currently confirmed, but given their past success, fans are always watching. When two brands this influential collide, the culture pays attention.
