It’s not uncommon for brands to collaborate with Nike to launch special Shoes for their product in a way to promote or celebrate the success of their product. In a similar fashion, Sony has collaborated with Nike to launch special limited-time PS5 themed Nike Shoes.
The new shoes will be designed around the PS5 color palette and based on Nike’s Los Angeles Clippers star NBA player Paul George’s signature line of shoes, PG5. The limited-edition shoes are the basic PG5 concept shoes with PS5’s signature White, Black, and Blue highlights. Other than the PG5 logo on the back, the limited edition shoes will also feature the PlayStation logo on the back.
Yujin Morisawa, the Chief Designer of the PS5 and Senior Art Director at Sony, spoke to Input during the announcement and said:
A lot of the elements [in the PG5 x PS5] are inherently part of their DNA-Like the PlayStation symbols, things that were always going to be seen on their controller or console in some way shape, or form, so we knew it’s a safe bet to bring those elements in to connect the DNA back to PlayStation, regardless of how the actual design of the console looks
The concept was cool. I was really blown away by the design, like how modern and futuristic it was
How to buy the PS5 Edition Shoes?
The PG5 x PS5 will go on sale on May 14th and will be available only at the Nike SNKRS site. They will make their way to the USA on 27th May and will retail for the same price as the basic PG5’s at $110 only. The supply is limited and Nike won’t be producing more of these shoes in the future. So get ready to grab yourself these fabulous-looking shoes on the 14th.
