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!

Adidas released its first look at the next pair of trainers in its “Always Played In. Never Played Out.” lineup in partnership with Microsoft

It was only last week where we got the first look at Adidas and Microsoft’s collaboration celebrating Xbox’s 20th anniversary; now we get to see another pair of shoes joining the ranks.

This time, it’s a design of a fan-favourite console, the Xbox 360. Launched in 2005, the Xbox 360 sold over 84 million units as of 2014 and was loved by all for its cross-game chat and games released on the console were considered to be the best in the series. And these trainers really keep the legacy intact.

Xbox 360 x Adidas

The Xbox 360-inspired design has been formulated on a popular Adidas model, the Forum Mid, and the high-top design works perfectly for the console. The majority of the shoe emulates the popular console’s body while the sole of the shoe features the console’s electric green light that would show when it was on- it even features the power button on the sole too.

Other little details that have been included are the Xbox 360’s air vents placed along the tongue and the inside of the shoe, as well as the silver disc slot being emblazoned on the upper straps of the shoe.

The trainers are currently only available on the Adidas Canadian website at a price of C$160 (£95) and will be available to purchase on October 30.

We will most likely be receiving more designs as the “Always Played In. Never Played Out.” campaign continues, with Xbox One being the next console design we are most likely to see.

The post Xbox: Adidas Unveils Next Pair of Trainers in its Xbox Collaboration first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Your favourite sportswear brand and console are teaming up for something exciting…

One thing I am always a big fan of is video gaming companies teaming up with fashion companies and being able to come out of it with great products of your favourite things that you can constantly wear. I always want to talk about the latest gaming fashion pieces, and this is no exception.

On Wednesday, Xbox announced it had teamed up with sportswear brand Adidas to bring something of a nostalgia kick for hardcore fans of its original console.

The two companies have created a pair of trainers to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Xbox console, which was released on November 15, 2001.

Xbox x Adidas

The trainers are styled around the translucent Xbox special edition console that was released along with Halo: Combat Evolved, with the design consisting of black and translucent green colours and an Xbox logo on the tongue of the shoe. The trainers were showcased in a special reveal trailer that represented the popular skating culture in that era, along with showing people playing Halo: Combat Evolved on the translucent Xbox console.

Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a release date for these bad boys and looks as though they will only be available through Microsoft giveaways, yet Xbox confirmed there will be different, additional trainers that will be inspired by the various Xbox console generations of past and present, and will be available to purchase in the future.

 

This is just the beginning of our partnership with Adidas, and over the next few months we’ll continue to mark our 20th anniversary by launching additional sneakers inspired by past and present Xbox console generations, including the first-ever sneaker available for purchase by our fans later this year. – James Monosmith, Senior Sales & Marketing Manager.
