Microsoft step foot into the gaming console market with the launch of its first Xbox console back in November 2001. So, 2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the Xbox console, and to celebrate the occasion, the Redmond giant has partnered with Adidas to release a special Xbox-inspired sneaker.
Furthermore, this collaboration with Adidas marks the global launch of the “Always Played In. Never Played Out” program by Microsoft. This, according to the company, “celebrates the popular eras of play over the last two decades, across sport, gaming, and lifestyle.” So, the Adidas Originals by Xbox features a skateboard show-like design, which was most prevalent during the early 2000s.
Now, this is not the only sneaker that Microsoft and Adidas are going to release. The company states that it will continue to mark its 20th anniversary over the next few months by launching additional sneakers, inspired by older and latest generation Xbox consoles. Moreover, the company will also make its first-ever sneaker available for purchase later this year. However, there is no information about the price of the sneaker as of now.
