Microsoft marks 50 years with limited edition Crocs shoes nodding to Windows XP

Windows is taking a playful step into nostalgia. A new Microsoft Limited Edition Crocs Bundle will feature design elements inspired by some of the brand’s most recognizable moments, including Windows XP. 

“As part of Microsoft’s 50th anniversary celebration, we’re releasing a Microsoft Limited Edition Crocs Bundle that includes nostalgic nods like Windows XP-inspired Crocs, custom Jibbitz™ charms, and a Bliss-themed drawstring backpack,” said Frank Shaw, chief communications officer at Microsoft. 

The Bliss backdrop, a photograph of a green hill and blue sky with white clouds taken in Sonoma County, California, became a cultural icon for millions of Windows XP users in the early 2000s. Now it returns in a new form, reimagined as part of this limited-edition release. 

UPDATE: The #MicrosoftCrocSweepstakes has now closed. Thank you to everyone who joined in and helped make it such a huge success.  

UPDATE: Based on the incredible response and positive engagement across social media, we’re thrilled to share that the Microsoft Limited Edition Crocs Bundle officially drops globally beginning today. Please visit the Microsoft Merchandise Store for instructions on how to order the bundle: https://aka.ms/microsoftcrocs.

This drop is a chance to purchase a pair and join in on the celebration as part of a broader set of moments marking Microsoft’s 50th anniversary, bringing together culture, creativity and community in ways that honor the past while looking toward the future.
