The shoe itself is the basic PG5 concept; but fully decked out to fit the color profile of the PlayStation 5, which released back during the Fall of 2020. Yujin Morisawa, who is the Chief Designer of the PS5 and Senior Art Director at Sony spoke to Input regarding the announcement of the new shoe.
“A lot of the elements [in the PG5 x PS5] are inherently part of their DNA-Like the PlayStation symbols, things that were always going to be seen on their controller or console in some way shape or form, so we knew it’s a safe bet to bring those elements in to connect the DNA back to PlayStation, regardless of how the actual design of the console looks”
