Are you a die-hard Sony fan who wouldn’t mind having some PlayStation kicks?

Well then you’ll be quite envious when you lay your eyes on the new PlayStation Nike Air Trainer 1 shoes. The sad part is that these baby’s won’t be sold to the general public. In fact, they are so limited that there are only 24 pairs being made! However you will be able to win them through various charity auctions and other events, as well as on the Sole Collector web-site.

Here is part of an interview with Ron Eagle, Director of Product Publicity at Sony regarding the new Nike’s:

Question: What did you think of the shoes when you received them [the PlayStation Nike Air Trainer shoes]?

Answer from Ron Eagle: I was completely blown away – there are so many details, so many different things to look at and yet it’s also very cohesive. The quality of the materials, especially the lenticular, was just crazy. I really love how much the shoe changes in light, the brightness of the colors against the black, and the fact that the left and right shoe have different graphics / colors was just really cool. It was also very nice of them to tie back to the “different and cool factor” that the original PlayStation brought to the gaming industry in 1994. To be able to visually reference a game changer for our industry and acknowledge our history with Nike dipping into their history with visual cues from the Air Trainer line to create something very new and unique is just hard to put into words. The shoe has the heritage from each brand, but also shows the progression we have made and continues to celebrate that central to pop culture theme that we both enjoy.
