An exciting new Sony Playstation collaboration was revealed this week for NBA star Paul George’s iconic Nike PG5 sneakers, and the shoes are set to release May 27th. With the hype-filled launch of the Playstation PS5 in November 2020, where we all remember it achieved meme status for constant pandemic-induced supply shortages, the sneaker release is expected to approach the same level of hype for both sneaker collectors and gamers.
Before the PS5 was even released to the public, it’s rumored that stripped down pieces of the console were shipped to the Nike HQ in Oregon to make sure they were able to transfer the full essence of Playstation in shoe form. Sneaker designers did an uncanny job getting the details of the PS5 just right, given the most pre-launch information they were able to squeeze from the secretive Playstation team was a word of mouth description over the phone. White textured uppers represent the PS5’s outer shell, with black and blue accents to mimic the Playstation’s inner box and lighting.
The Nike X Playstation collab drops on May 27 in the U.S. for $120 on Nike’s SNKRS app. Follow @brickinsneakers on Instagram for more updates and sneaker news.
