Paul George's Nike basketball sneaker is considered one of the better performance sneakers on the market right now. Now take the PG 2.5 and combine it with video game giant PlayStation and you have a hit on your hands. The brand just released the "Blue MultiColor" version of the shoe, but now they're back with the white iteration.

The entire shoe is dressed in white with various references to PlayStation, including controller symbols on the straps and PlayStation logo on the tongue. There is also Paul George branding on the heel tab. According to Nike, the shoes will be releasing on Saturday, January 5th at 10 A.M EST for $110 USD.

The shoes are inspired by Paul George's love for videos games, PlayStation in particular.

“I just had a knack for video games,” George explained to Nike. “As soon as I discovered PlayStation, I was throwing hints here and there to my dad — cutting out the clipping of a video game, cutting out the clippings of the PlayStation, leaving it on his dresser. I remember on Christmas morning, I unwrapped my gift and sure enough, it was the PS2. I've been a PlayStation guy ever since.”

Will you be copping these?
