Similar to Nike Air Force. The colorful logos and the stitching and structure of the shoes are clunky but not old-fashioned, perhaps due to the recent retro craze. Because of the Apple logo, it feels like looking at a classic computer with a plastic texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rainbow logo of Apple Computer, which was used for 22 years from 1976, was printed on a neat white base. This logo was introduced with the Apple 2, the first personal computer. A rainbow of colors was used to emphasize that this was the first home computer to feature a color monitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was kept in a box and has never been worn. However, since it has been manufactured for a long time, there are discoloration and bright marks around the midsole due to adhesives. Shoes are not auctioned and are a fixed amount. It is the third most expensive sneaker on Sotheby's site, behind the Nike SB Dunk Low Paris Bernard Buffet ($90,000) and the Nike x Louis Vuitton Air Force 1 ($75,000).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcd5 Editor's Notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is attractive that there is only one pair of Apple shoes left. I looked to see if Apple had created any other objects, and in 1986, I found that it operated The Apple Collection, which sold umbrellas, bags, key chains, etc. using the rainbow Apple logo. He even collaborated with Mission Impossible. Now, if Apple were to remake these goods, I'd like to collect them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
