Nike and HQ Trivia partnered to allow 10 lucky contestants to win the shoe brand's limited-edition collaborative offering.
HQ Trivia is a live game show anyone with a cell phone can participate in. In addition to winning real cash prizes, contestants were also playing for the chance to win Nike's Air Max 270, which arrives in a unique white colorway. The shoes feature an all-white upper, complete with a tonal swoosh, that's complemented by a deep blue toe cap. The unique shoe also features a tab with HQ Trivia's logo.
The app-based quiz show, which occurred on Air Max Day featured 15 Nike-related questions regarding the brand's past collaborations, designers, athletes and more. According to Nike, only 100 pairs of these shoes were created.
