Rare 1990s Apple Sneakers Are To Be Auctioned For $50,000

An ultra-rare pair of official Apple-branded sneakers are now on sale from the auction house Sotheby’s for $50,000 (via BBC News).

The Omega Sports Apple Computer Sneakers and feature a white leather upper with rainbow Apple logos on the tongue and next to the laces, as well as an air cushioning window in the heel. They come in men’s U.S. size 10.5 and are accompanied by an alternative pair of red laces.

These shoes were custom-made for Apple employees in the 1990s, available only as a one-time giveaway at a conference. They have never been sold to the public before and Sotheby’s say that the pair of sneakers is “one of the most obscure in existence.”
