Sony is marking the momentous 30th anniversary of the PlayStation brand with a series of special initiatives, prominently featuring an exciting new sneaker collection. In a collaborative effort with Reebok, Sony is launching a range of footwear designed to pay homage to the iconic original PlayStation console.
Exclusive Sneaker Lineup
This unique partnership unveils three distinct sneaker models, each catering to a specific international market:
- InstaPump Fury 94: Exclusively available for Japan.
- Pump Omni Zone II: Designated for the United States audience.
- Workout Plus: Tailored for the United Kingdom.
This isn`t Sony`s first venture into console-themed apparel; the company previously collaborated with Nike for shoes inspired by the PlayStation 5 and partnered with Adidas for footwear celebrating the launch of Spider-Man 2.
The highly anticipated anniversary sneakers are slated for an October release. Each pair will be presented in bespoke, limited-edition packaging thoughtfully designed to echo the original PlayStation console`s distinctive aesthetic. As of now, Sony has not yet announced the official pricing details or specific purchase methods for these exclusive collectibles.
“PlayStation: The First 30 Years” Commemorative Book
In addition to the stylish new footwear, Sony has also unveiled plans for a comprehensive new book titled “PlayStation: The First 30 Years.” This substantial 400-page volume promises an in-depth exploration of the console`s rich history, featuring rare concept sketches, detailed design models, and previously unseen prototypes of the PlayStation console. The book is scheduled for release in Spring 2026 and is currently available for preorder.
The original PlayStation made its debut in North America in September 1995, signifying that this month marks its significant 30-year milestone. The console series has since evolved through several generations, including the PS2, PS3, PS4, and most recently, the PS5 and PS5 Pro. While concrete details remain scarce, the gaming community eagerly anticipates the next iteration, tentatively known as the PlayStation 6.
