Sorta a complete list of Playstation Sneaker collabs

Sony’s PlayStation brand has inspired a huge modern following and while all of us growing up in the 90s would probably have seen Super Mario knock off slippers, the 2000s would usher in the reign of Playstation not just in the living room gaming space but also in co-branding projects. In 2024, PlayStation has worked with numerous apparel brands like Uniqlo, H&M and most recently PUMA which included Playstation-inspired variations of their popular sneaker sillouettes.

Update: Sept. 30, 2025 – Sony PlayStation and Reebok just announced their tri-region exclusive to celebrate the Playstation’s 30th anniversary, more via this article on the Reebok x Playstation 30th Anniversary Collab.

This inspired me to share this list for those may not have know these collab releases existed or if you’re like, you may coveting some of these as your grail. Here’s a list of PlayStation sneaker collaborations starting off with the OG back in 2006:

Nike Air Force 1 Low PlayStation (2006)

The one that started it all. Featuring a black patent leather upper with a unique holographic Swoosh, symbolizing the PlayStation’s user interface stylings. This shoe includes PlayStation’s iconic button symbols subtly embossed across it, celebrating the marraige of gaming and sneaker culture and Kobe being handed one of the first samples of this shoe is just priceless.

  • Release: 2006
  • Retail Price: $130

Nike Air Force 1 Low PlayStation (2009)

The 2009 reissue of the AF1 PlayStation maintained the original design’s spirit but introduced minor tweaks for a fresh appeal, keeping the sneaker a favorite among collectors for its distinctive style and homage to the gaming world.

  • Release: 2009
  • Retail Price: $90

Nike Air Max 90/360 Hybrid PlayStation 3  (2006)

As much as this is technically the first of all these, this PS3 launch special lacked the distint PS Play era designs and falls with how Sony views itself during the launch of the PS3.

The Nike “PlayStation 3” Air Max 360/90 Hybrid was unveiled at a New York City celebration for the PlayStation 3 release, featuring a sleek design that mirrors the gaming console’s aesthetic. Aother limited-edition sneaker fusing elements of the Air Max 360 and Air Max 90, crafted in black patent leather with a striking 3M reflective hologram Swoosh—a first for Nike, only 24 pairs were produced and was only available through a charity auction site.

  • Release: 2006
  • Retail Price: N/A

Nike Blazer High Premium & Nike Air Max 97 Playstation 3 (2008)

I’m not sure if these actually hit the market but it does follow the release of the one above. It lacks any of the symbolic PS branding but the PlayStation 3-inspired Blazer and Air Max 97 pack features sleek black colorways highlighted by colorful patterns on the swooshes and other accents. The Blazers are crafted from premium leather, while the Air Max 97s blend mesh with patent leather.

Nike Air Trainer 1 PlayStation (2009)

These unreleased samples were limited to 24 pairs and may pop-up on auctions but these sample shoes feature signature PlayStation symbols and colors along the heel. The colorful sample composition differs from the limited runs (given exclusively to Nike and Sony partners) in their special iridescent side panels.

  • Release: 2009
  • Retail Price: N/A

Nike Zoom Huarache Trainer PlayStation Move Pack(2010)

To celebrate another anniversary, PlayStation had this Nike Huarache made to commemorate the launch of the PS Move and launches besides the Killzone 3 box set which in itself, came with a pair of boots. The Nike Zoom Huarache PS Move features the PlayStation logo on the tongue and a distint summer blue tinge along with a reflective swoosh on a black upper.

  • Release: 2010

A recolor of the above Huarache pair, the Nike Zoom Huarache collab with MLB The Show features a bright red inner lining with an obsidian upper. It features an insole featuring the MLB The Show logo and was sold in select branches during its release.

  • Release: 2011
  • Retail Price: $110

Nike Air Force 1 Low PlayStation (2018)

I’m a pure white AF1 kinda guy but this easily takes the cake as my second favorite colorway of the Air Force 1 Low. Featuring a signature PlayStation-inspired design and with technical applications of the PS branding on the sole and the jelly swoosh as well as the heel tab, this is personally my holy grail of the AF1s. I managed to spot a Size 9 but I’m a size 11 so sadly couldn’t get one for myself. News of a possible Jordan 1 Xbox surfaced after this shoe went on sale.

  • Release: 2018
  • Retail Price: $200

Nike PG2/PG2.5 Playstation

I’m lumping both these releases as they are the same sneaker and even all the way to his 5th signature, Paul George is a Playstation guy so he carries the PS brand. Featuring various colorways including the new midnight colors for the PG2 and the vintage PS grey for the PG2.5, Paul George’s signature sneaker line would easily be the most synonymous to PlayStation because of his love for the console brand.

  • Release: 2018
  • Retail Price: $110

Nike PG5 Playstation

The only NBA player to have his own signature shoe that also has another brand deal for a collab, Paul George’s Playstation colorways continue onto the PlayStation 5 era with the PG5. The Nike PG 5 Playstation 5’s colorway mimics the new gaming console. The sneaker is composed of white mesh, a black neoprene tongue, and blue gradient details throughout. Lastly, Playstation’s signature graphics are printed throughout the forefoot bands and heel overlays.

  • Release: 2021
  • Retail Price: $110

Nike Dunk Low Travis Scott x PlayStation

Celebrating the launch of the PS5, Travis Scott and Nike collaborated with PlayStation to release a special edition Nike Dunk. This exclusive design features a sail and light blue upper, accented by a charcoal grey reverse Swoosh and Sony branding on the heel tab. PlayStation embroidery adorns the side heel, and the design is completed with a cream and light blue sole. Released solely through a raffle, this Nike Dunk Low Travis Scott X PlayStation was available to five lucky fans, continuing Nike and PlayStation’s tradition of marking new product releases with unique sneaker collaborations.

  • Release: 2020
  • Retail Price: $120

PUMA x Playstation RS-X / Suede (2024)

The latest off all the Playstation sneaker collabs. PUMA’s collection is more sizable than Nike as it also covers sportswear and accessories. The collection sports midnight and classic grey colorways of the PUMA Suede and the PUMA RS-X.

And lastly…

A bunch of Zara x PlayStation kids shoes…

Notable Releases

While these releases are popularly tagged as “PlayStati0n”, the lack of any official logo puts them more in the league of inspired, rather than official collab.

Some of the descriptions from this list are direct descriptions from StockX. Take note that not all the items above are listed there but feel free to check out the listings.

Adidas Superstar Spider-Man: Miles Morales

As a collaboration release in partnership with Insomniac Studios for the then-Playstation exclusive “Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales” (now available on PC), Insomniac partnered with Adidas to swap-out Miles Morales’ iconic Jordan 1 Breds for a pair of Adidas Superstar. This is then followed up by the Adidas Ultra 4D Mid that is worn in-game as well, more on that below.

 Adidas x Spider-Man Ultra 4D Mid

Continuing on that note from the release above, the new Evolved suit features a new pair of Adidas Ultra4D which are actual shoes released alongside the game.

  • Release: 2021

A color variation of the Miles Morales Ultra 4D is the new Adidas Ultra 4D Spider-Man 2 colorway featuring, what I feel, is the better styling of the two:

There is a pair of cleats also that came with this release.

Nike SB Paul Rodriguez 2 “PlayStation”

The Nike SB Paul Rodriguez 2 PlayStation sneaker is a distinctive model that, despite not officially featuring the PlayStation logo, captures the essence of the gaming console through its design elements. It flaunts a sleek black colorway with patent leather and suede detailing, subtly integrating PlayStation-inspired symbols. Unique to this edition is the holographic Swoosh on the tongue, which adds a dynamic, light-reflective quality similar to the PlayStation’s user interface, celebrating the convergence of skate culture and digital gaming without the explicit branding of Sony.
