TEAM EPIPHANY

Let’s take a trip down memory lane. Since 2003, Nike and EA Sports have collaborated on special edition sneakers. From the classic Air Force II to the most recent Nike Lunar TR1 collaboration, EA Sports has been aligned with the footwear maven for a long time. Recently, Sneaker News sat down with EA Sports’ VP of Brand Marketing, Chris Erb, to learn more about the longstanding relationship and future collaborations.

This week, EA Sports gifted various fashion media and influential sneaker aficionados the recent collaborative sneaker with NIKE — NCAA Football 13 Lunar TR1 sneaker. 

In tribute to NCAA Football 13’s cover star, Barry Sanders, and the former Oklahoma State’s running back’s alma mater’s signature colors, the recently launched EA Sports x Nike sneaker has an orange colorway, EA Sports branded tongue, and metallic gold highlights  with Sander’s image in both the insoles. 

Madden NFL 13 launched Tuesday, August 28th with a record day-one sales and online usage. Over 900,000 units were sold in its first 24 hours on the market.
