CULVER CITY, Calif. — Today, Beats and Nike announced the first hardware collaboration in their shared history: Powerbeats Pro 2 – Nike Special Edition. In a landmark design shift, Beats has—for the first time—shared its iconic earbud real estate with a partner, featuring the Nike Swoosh on the right bud and the signature Beats “b” on the left.

“This isn’t just a new colorway; it’s a collision of two brands that define performance, culture, and sports—the attributes of today’s athlete,” said Chris Thorne, CMO of Beats. “By placing the Swoosh on our hardware for the first time, we’re honoring the shared DNA of Beats and Nike—and celebrating ambassadors like LeBron James who embody both. It’s a tribute to the grit, style, and sound that push people to their limits.”

To accompany the launch, Beats tapped longtime brand ambassador LeBron James for a comedic campaign that proves you don’t need to be perfect to play. In “Keep Your Head in The Game,” James hits the green with less-than-elite golf skills—but with Powerbeats Pro 2, he tunes out the critics (played by professional golfer Tom Kim and actors Lionel Boyce and Travis “Taco” Bennett) and embraces the game on his own terms. Watch it here.

“When two iconic brands like Beats and Nike come together, it’s more than a collaboration—for me, it’s family,” said LeBron James. “I’ve been part of the Beats journey since day one with the original Powerbeats, and the Powerbeats Pro 2 represent everything I need in my daily routine, whether I’m training, recovering, or just living life. These aren’t just my go-to earbuds—they’re built for anyone who refuses to compromise on performance.”
