Xbox is gearing up for its 20th anniversary this month—yes, it's really been that long since the console's release—and the brand is celebrating in style. To commemorate two decades of gaming, Xbox is teaming up with Adidas to release a sneaker inspired by the iconic video game console that has sucked up way too many hours of your life.
The celebratory shoe, dubbed the Xbox 360 Forum Mid, is a white-and-gray sneaker featuring a pop of neon green, a tribute to the original Xbox 360 console’s colors. The sneaker features a "plethora of visual throwbacks and Easter eggs," according to an Xbox release, making it the perfect shoe for self-professed gaming nerds.
One of the most notable features of the shoe is the Xbox power buttons decorating the entire sneaker, one of which is embedded in the neon green sole of the shoe. The limited-edition sneaker also comes with four additional pairs of laces in red, yellow, green, and blue, which represent Xbox 360 controller buttons.

The sneaker will launch exclusively through the Adidas waiting room on Nov. 4, a virtual waiting room that randomly gives people access to purchase the item after launch. To buy your own pair, join the waiting room here on the release date. After the 10 a.m. ET/ 7 a.m. PT launch, Adidas will randomly select customers from the waiting room to order their kicks.
The Xbox 360 Forum Mid is the second release in the recent Adidas x Xbox partnership. The first sneaker collaboration launched back in October, a neon green pair dubbed the Xbox 20th Forum Tech. The sneaker, however, was only ever raffled off to some lucky winners and not released for general sale.
