One Piece's streak of major fashion collaborations isn't slowing down anytime soon. After teaming up with brands like Puma and selling out its Four Emperors-inspired sneaker collection, Eiichiro Oda's pirate epic is now setting its sights even higher. Nike Japan has officially teased a One Piece collaboration, instantly sparking excitement across both the anime and sneaker communities.

The teaser doesn't reveal much yet, but Nike's involvement alone is enough to get fans talking. The brand rarely partners with anime franchises on this scale, and its biggest collaborations have a habit of disappearing almost as soon as they release. With One Piece bigger than ever and fresh off the success of its Puma collection, expectations are already sky-high for what Nike has planned. Whether it's a full sneaker line or a broader apparel collection, this is shaping up to be one of the franchise's biggest fashion collaborations yet.

A Cryptic Poneglyph Teases Kicks Off The One Piece x Nike Collab

Rather than showing off the collection, Nike Japan chose to tease it with a single image. Shared on Nike Japan's official social media accounts, the image shows a Poneglyph engraved with the Nike Swoosh, accompanied only by the caption "ROMANCE DAWN." For One Piece fans, the reference was impossible to miss, and it immediately sparked theories about what the collaboration will eventually reveal.

That mystery has only added to the excitement. Since Nike's global accounts haven't shared the teaser, fans are already wondering whether the collaboration will stay exclusive to Japan or get a proper worldwide release. Just as importantly, nobody knows what the partnership actually includes yet. It could be anything from a limited sneaker collection to apparel or accessories, with Nike choosing to keep every major detail under wraps for now.

Monkey D. Luffy accidentally ate a Devil Fruit as a child, giving him rubber-like abilities. What is the name of that fruit?

AFlame-Flame Fruit BChop-Chop Fruit CGum-Gum Fruit DSmoke-Smoke Fruit

✓ Correct! The Gum-Gum Fruit (Gomu Gomu no Mi) turned Luffy’s body into rubber. He ate it from Shanks’ treasure chest as a kid, gaining stretchy powers but losing the ability to swim forever.

✗ Overboard! The answer is the Gum-Gum Fruit. The Chop-Chop Fruit belongs to Buggy, the Flame-Flame Fruit to Ace, and the Smoke-Smoke Fruit to Captain Smoker — but Luffy’s rubber powers come from the Gomu Gomu no Mi.

Luffy’s iconic straw hat was given to him as a child by a famous pirate who inspired his dream. Who gave Luffy the hat?

AGold Roger BMonkey D. Garp CDracule Mihawk DRed-Haired Shanks

✓ Correct! Red-Haired Shanks entrusted his straw hat to young Luffy in Foosha Village, telling him to return it when he becomes a great pirate. That promise drives Luffy’s entire journey.

✗ Overboard! The answer is Red-Haired Shanks. While Gold Roger originally wore the hat, it was Shanks who passed it down to Luffy after saving his life from a Sea King — a defining moment in the series.

Before joining the Straw Hats, Sanji works as a sous chef at a floating restaurant on the ocean. What is the name of this restaurant?

AThe Galley-La BThe Baratie CThe Sea Rat DMakino’s Tavern

✓ Correct! The Baratie is the ocean-going restaurant run by Chef Zeff, Sanji’s mentor. In the live-action series, it’s one of the most stunning sets — a fully realized ship-restaurant on the open sea.

✗ Overboard! The answer is The Baratie. Run by the legendary pirate-turned-chef “Red Leg” Zeff, this floating restaurant is where Luffy recruits Sanji as the Straw Hats’ cook.

Roronoa Zoro is famous for his unique sword-fighting technique. How many swords does he wield in his signature style?

AOne BTwo CThree DFour

✓ Correct! Zoro uses Three-Sword Style (Santoryu), wielding one sword in each hand and a third in his mouth. His dream is to become the world’s greatest swordsman by defeating Dracule Mihawk.

✗ Overboard! The answer is three. Zoro’s iconic Three-Sword Style places one blade in each hand and a third clenched between his teeth — a fighting technique unique to him in the One Piece world.

Each Straw Hat crew member has a personal dream. What is Nami’s ultimate goal that drives her journey?

ATo find the One Piece treasure BTo become the greatest navigator CTo draw a complete map of the world DTo defeat every pirate on the Grand Line

✓ Correct! Nami’s dream is to draw a map of the entire world. Her cartography skills and navigation talent make her indispensable to the crew, and her passion for mapmaking was nurtured by her adoptive mother Bell-mère.

✗ Overboard! The answer is to draw a complete map of the world. Nami is a gifted cartographer whose dream goes beyond just sailing — she wants to chart every sea and island so no one is ever lost again.

A powerful Marine Vice Admiral is revealed to have a surprising family connection to Luffy. Who is this high-ranking Marine?

ACaptain Smoker BAdmiral Akainu CCaptain Morgan DVice Admiral Garp

✓ Correct! Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp is Luffy’s grandfather. Known as “Garp the Fist,” he’s a Marine hero who wanted Luffy to become a Marine — not a pirate. Their family dynamic is a major subplot in the live-action series.

✗ Overboard! The answer is Vice Admiral Garp. Monkey D. Garp is Luffy’s grandfather and one of the most legendary Marines alive. Despite being on opposite sides of the law, their bond runs deep.

Usopp is recruited into the Straw Hat crew after the pirates help defend his home village from Captain Kuro’s Black Cat Pirates. What is the name of Usopp’s village?

AFoosha Village BShells Town CSyrup Village DCoco Village

✓ Correct! Syrup Village is Usopp’s peaceful hometown where he was known for telling tall tales. It’s also where Kaya lives, and where the crew acquires the Going Merry from her estate.

✗ Overboard! The answer is Syrup Village. Foosha Village is Luffy’s hometown, Shells Town is where Zoro was held captive, and Coco Village (Cocoyasi) is Nami’s home — but Usopp hails from Syrup Village.

The Netflix live-action adaptation was praised for its casting. Which actor plays Monkey D. Luffy?

AMackenyu BTaz Skylar CIñaki Godoy DJacob Romero Gibson

✓ Correct! Mexican actor Iñaki Godoy won fans over with his infectious energy and earnest portrayal of Luffy. Mackenyu plays Zoro, Taz Skylar is Sanji, and Jacob Romero Gibson plays Usopp.

✗ Overboard! The answer is Iñaki Godoy. The young Mexican actor perfectly captured Luffy’s boundless enthusiasm. The other actors all play Straw Hat crew members — but Luffy is all Iñaki.

The collaboration also stands out because Nike has been far more selective with anime collaborations than many of its competitors. While brands like Puma and Adidas have embraced anime collections in recent years, Nike has only occasionally stepped into that space, by only recently testing the waters with its Yu-Gi-Oh! collaboration in 2025.

Landing a collaboration with One Piece feels like a natural next move, especially with the franchise continuing to grow through its Final Saga, Netflix's live-action series, and Wit Studio's upcoming remake. Even before the first product has been revealed, the collaboration already feels like one of the biggest anime fashion announcements in recent memory.

The One Piece x NIKE Collab Must Secure A Global Release To Beat The Resale Market

The teaser is likely just the beginning. Nike usually reveals its biggest collaborations in stages, starting with a cryptic announcement before gradually unveiling the collection itself. With "ROMANCE DAWN" now out in the open, the next reveal should finally answer the biggest questions surrounding the project. Whether this Poneglyph tease eventually translates to a pair of custom Dunks, a fresh line of Air Force 1s, or a full-blown streetwear apparel collection, history tells us Nike is going to treat this as a highly exclusive, limited-edition drop.

For now, fans will need to keep their eyes glued to Nike Japan's socials for the next official update. But the one thing fans will be hoping for is a worldwide release. One Piece has long outgrown its status as a Japan-only phenomenon, with a global fanbase that has supported everything from the manga and anime to Netflix's live-action adaptation. Limiting the collaboration to Japan would leave many fans relying on expensive resale markets instead of getting a fair chance to buy the collection themselves. If Nike is aiming to make this one of its biggest anime collaborations yet, giving fans around the world access would be the perfect way to finish the rollout.
