I am not seeing how this translates into sports sneakers.
It's "gaming related clothing" whatever the fuck that means

It's literally just cross-promotion to appeal to young men, it has no real connection
I should have known. Every time something seems confusing and stupid, it’s not the kids. It’s capitalism.
Some underpaid marketing intern did a bunch of spreadsheets and projections indicate that Nike can make more money if they advertise to gamers
Yeah okay. You got me there. I understand this.
If they aren't cowards, it means that the shoes will have RGB lighting.
Oh hell yeah I’m back on board now
