Nike x Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Special Edition Now Available for $249

This co-branded run applies Nike's volt styling to the existing fitness-focused earbuds under a LeBron James-led push.

Overview

  • Orders are live on Apple.com, Nike.com, and select Apple Stores across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, and other markets, with Apple listing deliveries as soon as March 24.
  • The U.S. price is $249.99, the same MSRP as the standard Powerbeats Pro 2.
  • Nike-specific touches include a volt-and-black two-tone finish, a speckled case with “Just Do It” inside, a Swoosh on one earbud, and a mirrored Beats logo on the other.
  • The hardware is unchanged from Powerbeats Pro 2: wraparound earhooks, active noise cancelling with Transparency, built-in heart-rate monitoring, IPX4 sweat resistance, and up to 45 hours of battery life with the case.
  • Marketing centers on a new LeBron James spot; Lifehacker separately reports a limited-time $99.99 Woot deal on the standard model, and some outlets say the Nike edition’s initial drop sold out quickly.
