Paul George debuted new light-up PlayStation shoes
Paul George showed off the new PG-2 PlayStation colorway on Saturday against the Cavaliers in Cleveland.
The shoes have the Thunder star's logo and the PlayStation logo on the tongues - and they light up, in the same way the video game console lights up when you turn it on. Additionally, the colors are inspired by the colors of the game controllers, and there's a PSN voucher code on the heel of the left shoe that you can redeem for "a Paul George Dynamic Theme for your PS4," per the PlayStation.Blog. They officially release on Feb. 10.
These are the first NBA shoes to light up, per ESPN.
George told PlayStation that he has always loved video games and that partnering with the gaming brand was "inevitable."
"Just like basketball, I've had a knack for video games since I was a kid. When I was 8 or 9, I used to amaze my uncle and all his friends by consistently beating them in all the sports games we'd play. And if I saw something cool while I was playing, I'd go outside and try it out on the court or the field. So in a way, sports and video games were always feeding off one another to me."
