Along with the Xbox sneakers, Microsoft is also planning to release an Xbox mini fridge this holiday. The company promised to provide more information on its Xbox Mini Fridge plans at some point this month.

Microsoft’s work with Adidas on an Xbox sneaker follows a similar collaboration between Nike, Sony and basketball player Paul George earlier this year. The PS5-inspired sneakers went on sale earlier this year, more than two years after the previous PlayStation sneakers created by Nike and Sony in 2018.
