It’s not often that you can cop a hot pair of kicks and help others while doing it, but here’s your chance. Being that sneakerheads and gamers are often one and the same, Nike’s Sony Playstation 2-inspired Air Force 1 model was a hot commodity when it first dropped in 2005. Now to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the trail-blazing gaming system, Nike is releasing a limited run of only 50 pairs of this shoe to Sony friends and family. We showed you a preview of the Playstation 2 10th Anniversary Air Force 1’s last month and noted some slight differences between the 2005 and 2009 versions, but the bottom line is that they are still looking good and with the limited release, they will likely be more sought after than ever. Choosing to turn their good fortune into good karma, gaming site, Kotaku, has donated the pair that they received to Jennifer Ann’s Group to be sold on eBay with 100% of the proceeds going to the charity. Jennifer Ann’s Group is dedicated to the prevention of teen dating violence and was created in 2006 after an incident that claimed the life of its founder’s daughter. If you wear a size 11.5 or just want to get involved, you can get over to eBay and place a bid with the hopes of scooping up some rare kicks and doing some good in the process.
