If you haven't seen the For The Players Since 1995 commercial yet, do yourself a favor and press play.

Sony dropped a commercial that was nostalgia heaven - giving us the past, present and future of Playstation gaming. Throughout the commercial, there were a lot of hidden gems, not only for the seasoned gamer, but for sneakerheads as well.

Sure in one of the scenes there are a stack of Nike boxes behind the television, but Sony scratches that sneakerhead itch with many more kicks. The main guy in the commercial is holding down some heat throughout the years - from Bape to Air Jordan. Were you able to spot them all? We captured all the ones we could from the commercial to give you a closer look into what we mean. Check out what we caught and tell us if we missed any. Don't be surprised if you end up buying a PS4 because of it.

Air Jordan III "White Cement"

It really isn't obvious exactly what III this is but it is probably safe say that these are the"White Cement" IIIs. They were released in '94. This makes a lot of sense since this is supposed to be the beginning of the Playstation era that began in '95

These were hard to spot yet easy to tell. The silhouette (even though it's a shot from behind) you can tell that it is the Nike Air Huarache. Whoever this kid is, he's got some taste.

Nike Air Total Max Uptempo

If you weren't looking for this one you will totally miss it. But still frame this classic basketball shoe enough and you will see that it is the Uptempo

Air Jordan III "Black Cement"

This kid loved his IIIs. Now we get a better look at this classic. The Air Jordan III "Black Cement" Re-released in 2001 so it makes sense to be in the same frame as the Playstation 2

Bape Bapesta

Not too far off the from the Air Jordan III "Black Cement" we see a cult classic in th Bape Bapesta. Early 2000s Bape was huge everywhere, so it's no surprise that Sony threw these in here as well.

Nike Dunk SB Low "What the Dunk"

Pulling no puches, Sony leaves us with the Nike Dunk SB Low "What the Dunk" which dropped in 2007. They continue to keep up witht the times because the Playstation 3 dropped in 2006.
