Xbox has announced what custom-designed Adidas trainers fans can buy for its 20th anniversary
If you didn’t already know, Xbox is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month and has paired up with sportswear icons Adidas for a special collaboration celebrating its triumph throughout the years.
Xbox and Adidas released their first design for the first-gen Xbox console earlier this year, yet the trainers were not available to purchase. Yet the second design that is designed around the Xbox 360 console is.
The Xbox 360 Form Mid
Launched in 2005, the Xbox 360 sold over 84 million units as of 2014 and was truly loved by all for its cross-game chat and most, if not all, of the games released on that console were considered to be the best in the series.
These pairs of trainers really keep the legacy of the Xbox 360 intact and offer a plethora of visual throwbacks and easter eggs for fans to enjoy. The trainers really are a love letter to the fan-favourite console of the Xbox family.
The popular console has been designed beautifully on an equally popular Adidas model, the Forum Mid. The high-top design works perfectly at emulating the Xbox 360’s body, while the sole of the shoe features the console’s electric green on light and even features the power button on the sole too.
Other little details that have been included are the Xbox 360’s air vents placed alongside the tongue and the inside of the shoe, as well as the silver disc slot being emblazoned on the upper straps of the shoe.
It has also been hinted by Xbox that there are some hidden secrets for fans to discover with the design itself. The trainers will come with an additional four pairs of laces- red, yellow, green, blue- to emulate the buttons on the controller too.
The trainers will be on sale from 7 AM PT today (2 PM UK time).
Xbox and Adidas fans can also jump back in time with In Queue, a virtual experience to relive the golden era of gaming: the launch of the Xbox 360. There’s also a chance to win exclusive prizes, but it won’t be around for long!
