Ohio State’s latest Nike capsule gives the Buckeyes’ scarlet and black gear a fierce new treatment. From tooth-filled Swooshes to a fanged Block O, the collection carries a coordinated design across cleats, gloves and accessories.
The Nike Max 90 Vapor cleats headline the capsule, combining the recognizable styling of the Air Max 90 with a football-ready build. Scarlet textured uppers sit above black overlays, with metallic accents adding contrast. The standout detail comes on the sides, where the Nike Swoosh is filled with sharp teeth and framed by claw-mark graphics.
The Ohio State references continue throughout the footwear. “Defend the Shoe” appears on the tongue patches in Gothic lettering, while “Fight to the End” is featured inside. A Block O on the heel completes the school-specific treatment, giving the cleats details to discover from every angle.
The gloves take the concept even further. Black and scarlet backs feature the tooth-filled Swoosh, while the palms showcase an oversized Block O surrounded by an open mouth of teeth and long fangs. It’s the capsule’s boldest graphic and gives a familiar Ohio State mark a much more aggressive appearance.
Matching scarlet sleeves, headwear and wrist accessories extend the look, repeating the custom Swoosh and claw marks. A white towel adds contrast while carrying the same fanged Block O graphic.
For Ohio State, the teeth, claw marks and “Defend the Shoe” messaging give this collection a clear identity, one built to bring an extra edge to the Buckeyes’ game-day look.
