Sony is marking 30 years since the PlayStation brand first entered the console market with a fresh anniversary collaboration. After releasing PS1-inspired consoles and accessories in Japan last year, the focus has now shifted to the US and UK — this time, with sneakers.
On September 29, the exact anniversary of the PS1’s UK debut, PlayStation revealed a new collection of limited-edition sneakers created in partnership with Reebok. Three unique designs have been announced, each built on a classic Reebok silhouette, and each one will be released exclusively in a different region — mirroring the PS1’s original staggered global launch.
UK Exclusive: Reebok Workout Plus
The first pair to hit shelves will be the PlayStation x Reebok Workout Plus, launching in the UK. Styled in the iconic PS1 grey, these trainers feature the classic multi-coloured PlayStation logo on the side, along with a removable lacelock designed to resemble the original console’s controller port.
The Workout Plus sneakers will be available at End Clothing for £150 starting October 15.
US Exclusive: Reebok Pump Omni Zone 2
Next in line are the PlayStation x Reebok Pump Omni Zone 2, arriving in the US on October 17. Like the UK release, these high-tops carry the PS1 grey theme but add darker grey detailing and a bold logo placement on the tongue.
Priced at $220, they will be sold through CNCPTS and also include the distinctive controller port lacelock attachment.
Japan Exclusive: Reebok Instapump Fury 94
Finally, Japan will see the release of the PlayStation x Reebok Instapump Fury 94 on October 14. These laceless sneakers stand out as the most colourful of the three designs, featuring multiple PS1 logos — one on the back of each shoe and another on a hanging tag.
They will be stocked at Beams for ¥37,000, rounding out the global tribute to PlayStation’s 30th anniversary.
