Gaming Footwear Frenzy: Xbox Crocs Step into the Spotlight

Xbox has teamed up with Crocs to launch a limited-edition gaming shoe, priced at $80. This isn't your typical shoe upgrade. For an extra $30, you get thumbsticks and buttons. Add another $20, and you can personalize it with Jibbitz charms, featuring logos like Doom and Sea of Thieves. This release comes just after the Windows XP-themed Crocs and marks the 20th anniversary of the Xbox 360's U.S. debut.

The Xbox account on X (formerly Twitter) joked, "Finally, a controller for your feet." But let's be real, these Crocs won't connect to any console and won't make you a better gamer. They're more of a novelty item than a gaming accessory.

With RAM shortages potentially driving up Xbox console prices, these Crocs might be a more affordable option for gamers. But will they be on everyone's holiday wish list? Probably not.

Microsoft has already experimented with Windows XP and Clippy-themed Crocs. Who knows what's next? Maybe Copilot Crocs that insist they're always right, or Windows 11 Crocs that explode once a month. The possibilities are endless, and the humor is questionable.
