A kids penchant for PlayStation and growing up to become the biggest basketball player on NBA came together when Nike debut, Paul George second signature show the PG2. The edition inspired and collaborated with Sony PlayStation has both the players initials and the recognisable PS logo on the shoes tongue which glows.

“I just had a knack for video games,” says George of the origin of his passion. “As soon as I discovered PlayStation, I was throwing hints here and there to my dad — cutting out the clipping of a video game, cutting out the clippings of the PlayStation, leaving it on his dresser. I remember on Christmas morning, I unwrapped my gift and sure enough, it was the PS2. I’ve been a PlayStation guy ever since.”

The shoe features a host of PlayStation-specific nods, including a light-up tongue and a starry graphic from the dynamic theme that will be available for the PlayStation 4 with a code from the shoe. You will also notice the shoelace inlets have the PS Dual Shock button colours adopted.

Now in his eighth year in the NBA, George’s early work has paid off. However, there remains room for improvement, and that manifests in the PG2 via a new underfoot experience that’s predicated on responsiveness and feedback.

According to Nike, the size of the forefoot Zoom Air unit is increased to 10 millimeters compared to PG1, the battery should lasts for 150 hours after which it would need to be replaced. Version is limited which means they might not even reach our shores, pricing for the shoes are US$110.
