Nostalgic Windows XP teaming up with Crocs for an upcoming partnership in fashion
Microsoft Celebrates 50th Anniversary with Windows XP-Themed Crocs
Microsoft is taking a step into the world of fashion with a limited-edition collaboration with Crocs. As part of their 50th anniversary celebrations, the tech giant has announced the release of Windows XP-themed Crocs, complete with a drawstring backpack and a set of custom Jibbitz charms.
The Crocs are a playful homage to the classic Windows XP wallpaper, featuring the iconic Bliss design. The shoes and backpack showcase the gentle rolling hills, fluffy clouds, and a perfect blue sky that once adorned millions of computer screens.
Each pair of Crocs comes with a special pack of six nostalgic Jibbitz charms. These charms are inspired by beloved Microsoft elements, such as Clippy, Internet Explorer, MSN, the recycle bin, a mouse pointer, and a desktop folder icon.
The sole of the Crocs is lush green, mirroring the rolling hills of Bliss, while the top part of the shoes sports a sky-blue and white cloud pattern. The drawstring backpack, which accompanies the Crocs and Jibbitz set, also features the Bliss wallpaper design.
While Microsoft has not officially partnered with Crocs, the bundle is a fun, limited-run celebration of Microsoft’s legacy. According to the company's chief communications officer, this collaboration is a way to reminisce about the past and celebrate the company's journey.
Currently, the Windows XP-themed Crocs are available for pre-order exclusively to Microsoft employees for $80. A public release is planned for the near future. This stylish comeback of nostalgia is sure to be a hit among tech enthusiasts and fashion lovers alike.
These stylish collaborative items, including the Windows XP-themed Crocs and the accompanying drawstring backpack, are not only a fun nod to Microsoft's legacy but also a fusion of tech lifestyle, fashion-and-beauty, and technology. The limited-edition collection, featuring loved Microsoft elements, is set to make a unique mark in the events scene, appealing to both tech enthusiasts and fashion lovers.
