$50,000 Apple Trainers … Made of Gold?

Renowned auction house and brokers of art, collectibles, jewellery, and real estate Sotheby’s is selling a super-rare pair of Apple-branded trainers for a guide price of $50,000 (circa £39K). 

A One-Time Giveaway In The 90s 

Sotheby’s says the Omega Sports Apple Computer Sneakers (Size 10.5 / 9.5 UK), boxed and with an alternative pair of red laces, were custom-made for Apple employees and were “a one-time giveaway at a National Sales Conference in the mid-’90s”. The trainers are white with the Apple logo on the side and an air-cushioned sole.
