Xbox and Nike Partner Up for New Space Jam Shoes and Xbox Controller - News
by William D'Angelo , posted on 01 July 2021 / 1,464 ViewsXbox has partnered up with Nike on an exclusive Space Jam: A New Legacy inspired Xbox Series controller and sneaker bundle.
The bundle will launch in North America on July 15 in the Nike SNKRS app and includes a Road Runner vs Wile E. Coyote Nike LeBron 18 Low and a Road Runner vs Wile E. Coyote Xbox Series controller.
"The controller brings elements of each shoe together and is the aftermath of a Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner encounter," said Xbox Principal Designer Elliott Hsu.
"For the lucky ones that get the product collection, they’ll be able to see up-close the chaotic scene with dust clouds of the Road Runner settling as he speeds across the controller and the many cobbled contraptions of Wile E Coyote’s foiled attempts. The controller seamlessly blends the relationship between the shoes and characters, completing the story while living up to the unique expression of the LeBron 18 Lows.
"We also made sure all details on the controller hinted to details on the LeBron 18 Lows. The Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote Xbox Wireless Controller has a textured grip and a hybrid D-pad—which perfectly integrates the iconic ACME logo. On the sides of the controller, fans will notice the memorable phrases of “Yeeow!” and “Beep! Beep!” highlighting the physical humor of the Wile E. and Road Runner."
Space Jam: A New Legacy – The Game is now available for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members and will be available as a free-to-play title for everyone on the Microsoft Store on July 15.
