Sony and Nike have officially announced their PS5 shoes

Sony and Nike have confirmed they’ve collaborated with basketball star Paul George to release a new pair of basketball shoes based on the design of the PlayStation 5.

The PG 5 PlayStation 5 colorway shoes are designed to look like the PS5 console, with a white, blue and black design, and will be available in select regions on May 14.

The shoes were created by designers at both Nike and PlayStation, including the PS5 designer Yujin Morisawa, to make sure they resemble the console.

As well as the blue and black details on the shoes, the tongues contain the PlayStation logo and Paul George’s PG logo. The PlayStation button symbols can also be found on the shoes.

“Like many of you, I’ve been a die-hard PlayStation fan all my life, so it’s an honor to introduce my newest creative project with my favourite brands: the PG 5 PlayStation 5 colorway,” George said on the official PlayStation Blog.

Photos of the shoes first leaked on Instagram a couple of weeks back by Hong Kong sneaker leaker LACEUPHK, with Sneaker Files then reporting that the shoes were due for release in May.

The leaks, however, also showed a second blue design that resembled the PS5 home menu. These shoes weren’t part of today’s official announcement, which suggests they may either be released at a later date or have been scrapped altogether.
