Nike and Paul George Unveil the PG-2 PlayStation Colorway

PlayStation, Nike, and athlete Paul George have teamed up to create a custom pair of shoes called the PG-2 PlayStation Colorway.

Modeled after some interstellar PlayStation themes, the creation of the shoes has been a long time coming according to the Oklahoma City Thunder's Paul George. Professional baller and "one of the biggest gamers in the NBA," George revealed the new Nike footwear with the help of a PlayStation Blog post that talked about the product and its creation.

"This collaboration has been a long time coming," George said. "Ask me what my favorite PlayStation memory is and I'll tell you it's when my dad got me a PS2 for Christmas. I'd been dropping hints left and right because I knew that was it. That was the next big thing. You could say the same with Nike. As a kid, I'd make sketches of what I wanted my Nike shoes to look like because it's something I've always wanted to be a part of. Now I have the opportunity to make something very special and personal to me with the help of two of my favorite brands."

The video above that announces the official reveal of the shoes highlights a couple of features that PlayStation fanatics and sneakerheads no doubt already noticed. Just in case some slipped by you though, the PlayStation post included a list of some that you might've missed:

• The tongues of the shoe sport the PG and PlayStation logos, which illuminate and pulsate blue just like when turning on the console
• The back heel of the left shoe has a unique barcode that contains a PSN voucher code, which can be redeemed at PlayStation Store for a Paul George Dynamic Theme for your PS4
• The colors of the sneaker pay homage to the buttons on the DualShock 4 controller
• The iconic PlayStation symbols are embossed in patent leather on each shoe
• The look of the PG Dynamic Theme is reflected in the sock liner on each shoe

The new PG-2 PlayStation Colorway won't be globally available until Feb. 10, but you can download the Nike SNKRS app ahead of that release for more information.
