Celebrating the one-year anniversary of Halo Infinite, adidas partnered with the game developers at 343 Industries for a dedicated adidas NMD_V3 “UNSC” sneaker in collaboration with Xbox.
The design was inspired by the definitive blue hues found across Halo‘s iconic rings, Energy Swords, and Master Chief’s AI, Cortana. Uppers are dressed in horizontally-striped padding featuring cross-stitching and semi-translucent panels while additional baby blue strips line the forefoot and heel.
Additional branding accents include “UNSC” running across the medials, referring to “United Nations Space Command.” More specific details for fans included Capture The Flag and Stronghold game mode icons on the heel clip as well as Fret and Lumu AI motifs on the tongue tab. Rounding out the design were full-length Boost midsoles partially covered in matted blue rubbers and dark blue outsoles.
