Nike Alpha Menace Dunk Cleat Brings a Hidden Twist to the Gridiron

Nike Football is bringing fresh energy to Fall 2025 with the debut of the Alpha Menace Dunk Cleat, a bold hybrid that fuses heritage hoops styling with next-gen performance. Inspired by the iconic Dunk silhouette, this high-cut cleat is packed with modern gridiron tech—and a hidden surprise.

Dressed in stealthy black leather and textile mesh, the cleat features a high collar for locked-in ankle support, perforations at the toe for breathability, and a full molded cleat plate below for peak traction and responsiveness. But the standout is the scratch-off body, a feature that gradually reveals a new color with use over time. A hang tag attached to the eyestay teases the unique “Color Reveal” tech, making each pair a truly custom statement after wear.

The cleat balances aggressive function and layered storytelling, nodding to both Nike's football innovation and the cultural cache of the Dunk. Whether you’re running routes or just running the tunnel, the Alpha Menace Dunk is built for impact.

The Nike Alpha Menace Dunk Cleat is expected to release in Fall 2025 for $180 at Nike.com and select retailers.
