The never-ending journey to NBA 2K greatness now comes with some serious incentives. Today, Nike Basketball announces “Gamer Exclusives” – a selection of ten sneakers that will release exclusively through NBA 2K20’s MyPLAYER Nation. Throughout the season, gamers will have opportunities to unlock limited edition Nike Basketball shoes by hitting specific milestones. For example, you can buy the Nike LeBron 17 if you surpass LeBron’s in-game rating of 97. Once you reach that rating, you must win your next MyPLAYER match-up. Including these all-purple LeBron 17s, a total of nine GEs will be available throughout the 2019-2020 season; the tenth and final GE will drop via a Nike SNKRS Cam execution.

To participate in these Gamer Exclusive releases, you must link your Nike account with your NBA 2K20 account, and install them into the Nike SNKRS App. MyPLAYER Nation game mode launches on October 22nd, while the LeBron 17 GE will be up for grabs beginning on October 29th. GEs will only be available in North America, although virtual GEs will be accessible to all players. See the LeBron 17 here and make sure you link all your accounts.
