Xbox turns console controller into ‘Crocs’ clogs
Along with the clog, the collaboration introduces a set of five exclusive "Jibbitz" charms featuring icons and characters from major franchises.
While Xbox gamers are used to spending hours playing with controllers, these days the controllers themselves go a long way. Microsoft’s latest collaboration turns the console’s signature controller into playful “Crocs” clogs.
The Xbox Classic Clog, released on November 25, captures the look of the console controller with a black Crocs silhouette foam upper. The design includes molded X, Y, B, and A buttons, joysticks, and a directional pad, as well as the instantly recognizable white Xbox home button.
The Xbox logo also graces the hinges of the ankle straps. On some Crocs, you can see the classic “DOOM” logo in all its 90s glory. On others, you can see the creepy skull logo from “Sea of Thieves”. “Vault Boy”, the grinning symbol of the evil Vault-Tec corporation from the Fallout franchise, gives a thumbs-up, and Master Chief from Halo also graces the clog.
The shoes retail for $80, while the charm set sells separately for about $20.
This release also coincides with an important milestone. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Xbox 360, the console that helped define the era of online multiplayer gaming culture.
