"Microsoft has officially debuted its Windows XP-themed Crocs, which feature a design inspired by the classic operating system's "Bliss" wallpaper, alongside Clippy and Internet Explorer shoe charms. In a post on Wednesday, Microsoft said it's launching the limited-edition Crocs with a blue sky and clouds drawstring backpack as part of its 50th anniversary. It doesn't look like Microsoft will sell the Windows XP Crocs online."
"Microsoft is holding a sweepstakes on its Instagram account through Tuesday, October 7th at 11:59PM PT, and it's asking users to like and comment "#MicrosoftCrocSweepstakes" on its post for a chance to win a pair. The Verge reached out to Microsoft to see if it would make them widely available for purchase, but a spokesperson didn't immediately respond. We first got a glimpse at the Windows XP Crocs in August, when Microsoft started offering the nostalgic shoes to its employees."
Microsoft released limited-edition Crocs themed after Windows XP, featuring the Bliss wallpaper motif, Clippy and Internet Explorer shoe charms, and a blue sky-and-clouds drawstring backpack. The release coincides with Microsoft's 50th anniversary and appears not to be available for retail purchase. Access to the shoes is currently via an Instagram sweepstakes requiring likes and comments with "#MicrosoftCrocSweepstakes" through October 7 at 11:59PM PT. The shoes include Jibbitz of a pixelated Windows XP pointer, a recycling bin, the My Documents icon, and the MSN butterfly logo. The design was previously distributed internally to employees in August.
