Zavvi × Akedo drop two gaming‑themed high‑top sneakers at £50 each, limited stock and made‑to‑order, with designs for Borderlands 3 and Assassin’s Creed

Zavvi and Akedo have launched two exclusive gaming‑themed high‑top trainers—one Black Borderlands 3 edition and one White Assassin’s Creed Valhalla edition—priced at £50 each and available for immediate purchase while supplies last【1】.  

| At a glance | |
|---|---|
| Product | Zavvi × Akedo gaming high‑tops |
| Price | £50 per pair |
| Designs | Borderlands 3 (black) and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (white) |
| Availability | Limited, made‑to‑order, ships in up to ten days【2】 |

## Design and launch details  
The black pair showcases symbols from the Borderlands series on a black canvas, while the white pair features iconic imagery from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in a blue‑white palette. Both sneakers are handmade in Manchester, UK, using 100 % cotton canvas uppers and linings, with a rubber sole and classic lace‑up closure【2】. Each side of the shoe displays game‑specific motifs on one half and the respective franchise logo on the other, echoing previous Zavvi × Akedo collaborations such as Wonder Woman, The Goonies and Jaws【1】.

## Production and supply constraints  
Akedo’s “printed to order” model means each pair is produced only after a purchase is made, which can extend dispatch times to around ten days but reduces waste by avoiding unsold inventory【2】. The launch follows a pattern of limited‑edition drops that have historically sold out quickly, reinforcing the urgency for fans to act now if they wish to own the sneakers【1】.

## What to watch  
- Monitor Zavvi’s stock levels; once the limited run sells out, the sneakers will no longer be available.  
- Watch for any future collaborations that may introduce additional game‑themed designs, as past drops have expanded the range of pop‑culture footwear.  

The release underscores Zavvi’s strategy of pairing high‑quality, made‑to‑order footwear with cult‑favorite gaming franchises, catering to collectors who value both style and exclusivity.
