Nike Air Force 1 Low 'PlayStation' Sample | Size 9.5

The limited-edition Nike Air Force 1 Low PlayStation sneaker was a collaboration between Sony’s PlayStation and Nike. Each of the 150 pairs has its own unique ‘serial number’ and features an embroidered PlayStation logo on the heel. Purple laces were added as a nod to PlayStation’s signature color. The most notable of the 150 hand-selected recipients of the shoe was Kobe Bryant, the face of the Sony-exclusive “NBA” video game franchise. 

The Air Force 1, arguably Nike’s most iconic sneaker, is, in many regards, the first of its kind. Previously realized in running shoes, the introduction of Nike’s ‘Air’ technology in the midsole was a revolutionary concept for basketball sneakers. Tasked with bringing the concept to life, designer Bruce Kilgore and an aerospace engineer brought the project to fruition with a hiking boot-inspired, ankle-strapped, high-top. Kilgore’s first basketball sneaker, the Air Force 1, was brought to market in 1982.
