Xbox & Adidas: The Sneaker‑Slinging, Mini‑Fridge‑Drafting Duo
Picture this: you’re in Minecraft, you stare straight down and decide you’re a brilliant architect. Turns out, the game’s physics says, “Hold on, stop that! You’re about to level the world.” Same kind of “treat your brain gently” vibe shows up in a lot of gaming buzz—except it doesn’t usually ask for an open‑mic apology.
From Fridge to Fresh‑Air‑Cool
Remember that snap‑quick Twitter poll where Xbox let the public decide what sort of “collaboration” product to build next? They handed the deed to the brand with the rainbow overhead (Skittles) by a whisker—just one whole percent. And, because the team was practically a friendly game‑night nearly, they offered the first mini‑fridge prototype to the candy champs.
So yeah, Xbox had already been dabbling in the refrigerator arena before the poll even hit the feed.
The Next Big Move? Adidas Sneakers, Baby!
According to the inside scoop from Complex (big shout‑out for the scoop), the green‑and‑black masters are now cooking up a fresh line of kicks that will drop in 2021. Four pairings, four fresh designs, all curated to make your sneaker collection look less like a garage and more like a boutique.
- Pair One: Urban Edge – for the city slicker who knows the difference between avoidable lag and avoidable traffic.
- Pair Two: Retro Rocket – blast off into the 80s while still looking modern.
- Pair Three: Zenith Series – a minimalist look that says less is more… and you’re wearing the most.
- Pair Four: Glitch‑Globe – print‑directed patterns that keep you one step ahead of the pixel predators.
Sure, Xbox and Adidas have partnered up before—like a pair of well‑traveled friends—but every time they shake up the fashion world, the last thing your wallet has to do is take a dive. So get ready to place a bid before the next “cool joint” drops, because if they’re anything like the Xbox fridge, you’ll want it before the retail crowd freezes out.
Xbox + Adidas: The Sneakers That Will Make Your Footwear Play
Think about those neon‑green, black, and white colour combos that scream Diablo‑squared, then slap an Xbox logo on the heel. That’s the vibe we’re talking about. These kicks aren’t just foot‑gifts—they’re a full‑blown gaming statement. Released over the second half of 2021, each pair promises that unmistakable “my console is this cool” feel.
Meet the four‑legged stars
- Forum Tech Boost – two chunky binaries
- First drop: June
- Second release: November
- Forum Mid – the trim middle‑weight twins
- Both arrive in October
Each shoe uses Adidas’s new Forum Tech Boost or Forum Mid base, so you get that classic comfort with a dash of gamer flair.
What’s the price? Huh, who knows…
Neither Adidas nor Xbox have spilled the beans yet. That said, they’re coming in boxes that look like a stolen Xbox keyboard: pure black with electric green accents. Talk about packaging.
Future plans? Let’s dream
If you’re alive during the launch, keep your eyes on mini‑fridges and sneakers, but if you could add one more piece to your office kitchen, we’re seriously craving an Xbox‑themed coffee machine. We’re dreaming a latte that can also power games.
