adidas Uses The Forum Mid To Pay Homage To The Beloved Xbox 360_Sole Says It All

Now upon an entirely new, more innovative generation of gaming, the console war is continuing to heat up. And recently, the feud between PlayStation and Xbox players has diffused into sneakers as the two brands have joined forces with Nike and adidas, respectively. Here, following a limited Halo-inspired collab, the Three Stripes is further celebrating the Microsoft flagship, using the Forum Mid this time around to pay a heartfelt homage to the Xbox 360.

The silhouette’s colorway is overhauled to near perfectly resemble the “Next-Gen” pioneer. White leathers reminiscent of the chassis run replete throughout the upper, while silver metallic hits dress atop the strap in direct nod to the disc drive. Elsewhere, the similarly finished heel tab references the removable hard drive and memory units; 360-era buttons embellish the shoe’s lateral side; and air vents blend form and function on the medial. What’s more, the team have hidden a number of Easter eggs throughout for fans to find.

Take a quick look at the Forum Mid “Xbox 360” below and expect a release to hit adidas.com on November 4th at 10am ET. The box will also include red, yellow, green, and blue sets of laces.
