Video games and sneakers have long been intertwined, with iconic footwear often celebrating beloved gaming franchises and characters. Nike has been at the forefront of this trend, creating memorable collaborations that resonate with sneakerheads and gamers. One of the most legendary partnerships in this realm is the PlayStation x Nike collaboration, which first came to life in the mid-2000s.

The partnership produced several sample versions of the Air Force 1 Low, with the patent leather edition being the most popular. This version, limited to just 150 pairs, became particularly famous due to its association with NBA legend Kobe Bryant and its ultra-limited run. While Nice Kicks reported the pair was returning in 2025, Brendan Dunne of Complex later clarified that the pair would not be getting a retro release.

Over the years, PlayStation x Nike releases have remained rare and highly sought after, with pairs like the 1-of-24 Travis Scott x PlayStation x Nike Dunk Lows and the 2009 promo sample of the PlayStation AF1s. We’ve even seen a more available PlayStation Air Force in the form of a 2018 release limited to Los Angeles and the Nike SNKRS app.

The PlayStation x Nike Air Force 1 Low was rumored to release in 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. However, as stated earlier, the pair will not be returning in 2025 or anytime soon.
