For Insanely Good Sneakers, Press "Start" (EXCLUSIVE)
Clueless isn't the only '90s baby turning 30 this year. So is the original PlayStation console. And with the film already grabbing a Reebok collab for it birthday, PlayStation is next up.
Sadly, you can't play games on PlayStation's Reebok sneakers. But you can stunt with the surprisingly suave shoes.
Diehard PlayStation heads may recall how the original system launched in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan. The Reebok collection honors each country with an InstaPump Fury 94 (Japan), Pump Omni Zone II (US), and the Workout Plus (UK).
The Pump Omni Zone II, in particular, is quite nice, offering textured tongues featuring PlayStation graphics, which also appear on the upper panels. The tongue also has a custom Pump ball with a dimensional PlayStation logo that cleverly winks at how the console helped popularize 3D graphics.
All of the Reebok sneakers are dressed in unexpectedly handsome grey colorways inspired by the original console. The shoes are also sprinkled with subtle touches archival PlayStation logos, vintage-style charms, and hidden facts like original launch dates.
You just don't expect PlayStation sneakers to be this thoughtful. Hat tip to Reebok, which has been quietly dropping heaters like those out-of-this-world NASA "space" shoes and its own crisp take on the terrace shoe takeover.
At the same time, PlayStation continues to come for streetwear, racking up weirdly stylish collabs with fashion labels BEAMS and SOPH.
Together, PlayStation and Reebok are now blessing the world with wearable gaming history, with the sneaker collection scheduled to drop mid-October.
