Bandai Namco Teased Nike Air Jordan Model Kit, Gashapon

Bandai Namco announced on both Premium Bandai and Gashapon Online that it will make a Nike Air Jordan 1 High 85 Shadow and Reverse Shadow Model Kit and Miniature Collection gacha replica. The model kit lottery for a chance to pre-order one opens in Japan on July 31, 2025, and those able to buy it will need to pay 11,000円 (~$74). A US release isn’t confirmed for either yet. However, Bandai Namco does operate Gashapon US machines, so we could see the miniature shoes in late 2025 or early 2026.

In the case of the model kit, it seems to be based on the Tokyo-exclusive colorway. Only an initial teaser image for it appeared. It showed a deconstructed version of the model kit, so we can see the different layers and pieces. However, they’re arranged in such a way that we can get an idea of how the final model will look.

As for the Nike Air Jordan 1 High 85 Miniature Collection gashapon, we have a general idea of how these small figures will look. They will only be about two inches long (45mm). There will be 18 colorways, though the teaser image only showed the Bred black and red design. Shoes were 3D-scanned to ensure accuracy. When you get it from the machine, the shoes will arrive in a tiny replica of the actual shoebox. 

Here are the teaser images for both items:

The Nike Air Jordan 1 High 85 Shadow and Reverse Shadow Model Kit pre-order lottery opens in Japan on July 31, 2025, and the gashapon Miniature Collection based on it will be on Gashapon Online on August 7, 2025 and in capsule machines in October 2025 in Japan.
