In the early 1990s, Apple built prototypes for a pair of blocky, white sneakers, exclusively for Apple employees. With their sateen tongues and vintage rainbow logo, they’re either a normcore dream or the ultimate dad shoe, and they quickly disappeared into obscurity. In 2007, one of these rare items emerged on eBay and sold for $79. Now another is on the market—the only other, according to Heritage Auctions—but it won’t go for a pittance.
It’s probably not Apple fanboys making those bids, but sneaker collectors who know a rarity when they see one. Oh, they are size 9 1/2, if that makes a difference to you. Make your bid at Heritage Auctions.-Thanks, John Farrier!
