Rumors report that Nike could resurrect its legendary PlayStation collaboration in 2025. As the sportswear giant continues unlocking its vault of iconic releases, sneakerheads are speculating the coveted PlayStation Air Force 1 might make an almighty comeback.
Only 150 individually numbered pairs of the original 2006 PlayStation Air Force 1 were produced, making it an ultra-rare grail for collectors. Sporting a glossy patent leather upper with a PlayStation-colored gradient heel, the shoes were timed to celebrate the launch of Sony’s PlayStation 3 console.
Iconic details like the embroidered “PS” logo and signature purple laces made the design an instant classic. Rumor has it Nike initially presented a premium black leather sample to Sony before the shiny patent version was chosen. The shoes became a cultural phenomenon, with NBA legend Kobe Bryant famously reacting in awe upon seeing them.
