Get ready, gamers and sneakerheads! To celebrate three decades of gaming history, PlayStation has teamed up with sportswear icon Reebok to release an ultra-limited, nostalgia-fueled sneaker collection that pays homage to the original console: the legendary PS1.
This isn’t just a simple logo swap. The PlayStation x Reebok 30th Anniversary Collection is a deep dive into ’90s culture, featuring three iconic Reebok silhouettes, each uniquely tied to a specific global launch region of the original console.
Three Sneakers, Three Regions, One Epic Throwback
The collection brilliantly channels the aesthetic of the debut PlayStation console, using the classic “Anniversary Gray” color palette and infusing each pair with design elements only a true fan will appreciate.
1. The Japan Exclusive: InstaPump Fury 94
- Tribute: The 1994 Japan launch.
- The Details: This bold, laceless silhouette is a perfect match for the PS1’s futuristic debut. It features an anniversary gray sockliner and a custom “Press Play” logo on the iconic Pump ball. The tongue label is designed to look like a classic PlayStation Memory Card, and if you look closely, you’ll find the Japanese launch date hidden inside.
2. The US Exclusive: Pump Omni Zone II
- Tribute: The 1995 United States launch.
- The Details: A high-top silhouette that screams ’90s basketball and arcade cool. This pair features a custom Pump ball styled in the iconic PlayStation button colors (green, pink, blue, red). They also come with a removable lace lock cable attachment and console-button-shaped dubraes to complete the retro look.
3. The UK Exclusive: Workout Plus
- Tribute: The 1995 United Kingdom launch.
- The Details: A clean, low-profile classic that has stood the test of time, just like the PlayStation brand. The Workout Plus features a sleek gray upper, anniversary gray sockliners, and a removable lacelock cable attachment that subtly references the console’s original controller cord. Plastic lace dubraes feature the circle, triangle, and square symbols.
Packaging that’s a Collector’s Dream
Beyond the sneakers, the packaging itself is a nostalgic work of art. Each pair comes in a unique, limited-edition box designed to mirror the original PS1 console’s launch aesthetic, complete with vintage PlayStation logos and the signature anniversary gray theme.
For the most dedicated fans, an exclusive, individually numbered “Stacking Box” set is also available, bringing all three regional designs together in one ultimate collector’s bundle.
A Time Machine on Your Feet
As Mubi Ali, Global Senior Product Marketing Manager at Reebok, noted, this collection is designed to be “a time machine.” It’s a wearable tribute to the generation that grew up with grunge music, street style, and the revolutionary power of the first PlayStation.
The PlayStation x Reebok 30th Anniversary Collection is a must-have convergence of sportswear and gaming history. Mark your calendars, as quantities are extremely limited and will be released exclusively through select retailers in the US, UK, and Japan throughout mid-October.
