After many months of working with Warner Bros. and Nike, Xbox is proud to officially introduce an exclusive “Space Jam: A New Legacy” movie-inspired Xbox Wireless Controller and Sneaker Bundle. Start in Nike SNKRS app In North America on July 15, the bundle includes a Road Runner vs Wile E. Coyote Nike LeBron 18 Low and – for the first time ever in the Nike SNKRS app – an exclusive Road Runner vs Wile E. Coyote Xbox Wireless Controller. This special release duo features a design inspired by the classic and relentless Looney Tunes hunt between the sly Wile E. Coyote and the always elusive Road Runner.
Inspired by Wile E, Road Runner and the LeBron 18 Lows, the Xbox design team set out to tell a deeper story, bringing the controller and sneakers together in a scene that represents the classic Looney Tunes rivalry.
Nike Senior Designer of Footwear Jason Petrie brought each of the popular Looney Tunes to life with the LeBron 18 Lows. The left shoe represents Wile E. in earth tones with a Nike logo that looks like an ACME device capturing Road Runner, while the right shoe features Road Runner blues with a touch of yellow and a Nike logo wrapped in clouds of dust .
The controller brings elements of each shoe together and is the result of an encounter between Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. Those lucky enough to receive the product collection can get up close and personal with the chaotic scene with the clouds of dust from the road runner racing over the controller and the many cobbled contraptions of Wile E Coyote’s foiled attempts. The controller seamlessly connects the relationship between the shoes and the characters and completes the story while doing justice to the unique expression of the LeBron 18 Lows.
We also made sure that any details about the controller point to details about the LeBron 18 lows. The Road Runner vs. Wile E. Coyote Xbox Wireless Controller features a textured handle and hybrid D-pad that perfectly integrates the iconic ACME logo. On the sides of the controller, fans will hear the catchy phrases of “Yeeow!” and “Beep! Beep! “Emphasizing the physical humor of Wile E. and Road Runner.
