There aren’t many video games with as much of an emphasis on athletic footwear as the popular NBA 2K series, but publisher 2K Games has also implemented sneakers into several of its other titles including the latest WWE 2K entry. 

The standard version of WWE 2K26 was officially released on March 13 and with it comes a plethora of unlockable content including popular Nike and Jordan Brand sneakers. While there have been some critiques of the game’s Ringside Pass unlock system, the good news for sneaker fans is that the game’s footwear can be accessed without it.

To access WWE 2K26’s sneakers, fans will need to navigate to the game’s The Island mode and enter either the Nike and Jordan stores. 

Nike is represented with both the Triple Black and Triple White colors of its classic Air Force 1 sneaker as well as multiple colorways of the Air Ship, Blazer, Air Deldon, Cosmic Unity 2 and Cosmic Unity 3. Each sneaker is priced at 18,000 VC, which is the in-game currency used by 2K. Apparel options including T-shirts, shorts and shooting sleeves are also included.

Somewhat surprisingly, the Jordan Brand options are far less retro-focused, with numerous  post-retirement Air Jordan legacy models included in the lineup. The game features two colorways each of the Air Jordan 2012, Air Jordan 28, Air Jordan 37 Low and Air Jordan 38 Low. Like the Nike selections, the Jordan shoes are priced at 18,000 VC each. Beyond the sneakers, T-shirts, a hoodie and shooting sleeve are also offered as accessories. 

In September, 2K’s vice president of global partnerships Greg Brownstein and Ronnie Singh, the face of NBA 2K who’s better known to fans as Ronnie 2K, walked Footwear News through the process of bringing sneaker and streetwear brands to life in the digital world.

WWE 2K26 is available now on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Windows platforms.
