An interesting new release is the #43025 LEGO Nike Air Max 95 set. This marks the fourth collaboration between LEGO and Nike, following the #43008 LEGO Nike Dunk, the #43010 LEGO Nike Slam Dunk, and the #43021 LEGO Nike Dunk Trickshot. Each of these sets features creative building techniques and a selection of unique and useful parts.

According to the official description, “The hottest drop of the season has landed.” The #43025 LEGO Nike Air Max 95 set celebrates ’90s fashion and pays homage to one of Nike’s most iconic trainers. Designed for builders aged 12 and up, this collectible model is based on the original Air Max 95 released in 1995. The build captures the signature look of the shoe with layered detailing in black and light graphite, accented by striking neon yellow highlights.

The set also includes a display stand, a brick-built “bubble” logo, and a minifigure wearing Nike apparel and Air Max 95 trainers, complete with a customizable head. For a fun, interactive touch, the base features a hidden drawer that can be opened by twisting the shoe. Once completed, the model doubles as a stylish display piece, perfect for both LEGO fans and sneaker enthusiasts. With 1,213 pieces, the set is priced at $99.99 USD / €99.99 / £89.99 and is available through the LEGO Nike section of the Online LEGO Shop.

One of my favorite features is the brick-built bubble logo, which uses clever techniques that could easily be repurposed for other custom builds. What do you think?

LEGO Art sets make fantastic home décor pieces, but they are also quite large and can be a significant investment. For example, the #31208 LEGO Art Hokusai – The Great Wave, the #31215 LEGO Art Vincent van Gogh – Sunflowers, and the #31220 LEGO Art Claude Monet – Bridge Over a Pond of Water Lilies all measure roughly 16 by 21 inches. Each contains several thousand pieces, takes hours to complete, and typically retails between $100 and $250.

If you love the look of LEGO Art but have limited space or a smaller budget, there’s a creative alternative: smaller-scale versions. British LEGO fan Chris Tromans has done exactly that by recreating several LEGO Art sets at one-third scale. These charming mini versions were even showcased recently at the Brickish Weekend at the National Space Centre in Leicester.

The collection includes the Mini Great Wave, Mini Milky Way, Mini Mona Lisa, Mini Starry Night (based on the #21333 LEGO Ideas Vincent van Gogh – The Starry Night), Mini Japanese Cherry Blossom Landscape, Mini Sunflowers, and Mini Bridge Over Water Lilies. Despite their reduced size, these builds capture the essence and detail of the original sets remarkably well.

The LEGO fan community has embraced these mini builds enthusiastically, and due to popular demand, Chris is now sharing building instructions for all seven models. You can download the instructions and parts lists on his website, MiniModularGuy.com.

In addition to these mini art pieces, Chris has also created scaled-down versions of many other popular sets, including LEGO Modular Buildings, Winter Village sets, LEGO Ideas models, and themes like Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Marvel, Ninjago City, Architecture, and Classic Castle. Instructions for these builds are also available on his website, making it a treasure trove for fans who enjoy detailed miniature creations.
