Microsoft has officially launched a pair of limited edition Windows XP-themed Crocs for public purchase, priced at $79.95. These distinctive shoes are now available directly through the Microsoft online company store, moving beyond their initial appearance as a sweepstakes prize on Instagram earlier this month.
The design captures the essence of the classic Windows XP operating system. The upper showcases the famous bliss wallpaper background with its serene blue sky and fluffy white clouds. A vibrant green sole completes the look, representing the grassy hill from the original image. Adding to the nostalgic appeal, each pair comes with a set of six Microsoft-branded Jibbitz charms. This collection includes beloved icons such as the original MSN butterfly logo, the Internet Explorer ‘e’, the helpful but often pesky Clippy assistant, and a classic mouse cursor.
As part of the package, buyers will also receive a Windows XP-themed drawstring backpack at no extra cost. The shoes first appeared internally when Microsoft offered them to its employees back in August, ahead of this public release. The company clarified that this product is not the result of an official collaboration with Crocs. Instead, it was created as a special, limited-run item to commemorate Microsoft’s 50th anniversary, offering a playful nod to one of its most iconic software releases.
