What would you buy for $15,000 – 15 high-end Apple iPhones or a pair of rare Apple-branded shoes produced by the Cupertino-based tech giant over two decades ago?
According to media reports, one such vintage pair is available for purchase during an eBay auction to be held by Heritage Auctions on 11 June.
Sporting a classic Apple rainbow logo, the white-coloured sneakers are US men's size 9.5. These shoes only ever reached the prototype stage and were only available to Apple employees in the early 1990s.
“This isn't the first time a pair of these sneakers went up for sale. In 2007, a pair (size 8.5) fetched a mere $79 on eBay,” said a media report.
Apple stuff sells for big bucks at auctions like this one, and it isn’t the first time when such a figure has been quoted for an antique (if we can call them so) Apple product.
