Xbox has no shortage of limited-edition product releases for its 20th birthday celebrations, with the most recent addition being a gaming sneaker collaboration with adidas. The celebratory shoe will be available on November 19th.
Named the 'adidas Forum Tech BOOST' and inspired from the design of the original Xbox console placed on a retro-styled adidas shoe, this new shoe is a beautiful product fit for any Xbox gamer. The base of the shoe is jet-black with green and black mesh around the base for breathability, a neon green support clip around the heel, and the words "Play More" on the tips of the laces.
To top it all off, the label on the back of the shoe outlines Xbox's operation years of 2001-2021, and the sole features a nod to the 20th anniversary with the number 20, where the 0 is filled with the iconic Xbox logo.
