The iPhone’s sneaker emoji has become a reality
03.12.24
Jose Wong has unveiled The Shoe 1, inspired by Apple’s emoji sneakers, which are popular with iPhone, iPad and Mac users. This model combines the classic design of the New Balance 574, worn by Steve Jobs, with Apple’s minimalist aesthetic. Instead of the New Balance logo, the sneakers feature two parallel lines, like the emoji.
The sneakers are made of nubuck leather and mesh for ventilation, and the sole is made of lightweight EVA foam with a polyurethane frame. The packaging is designed in a concise style with the inscription “Designed by Josewong in China”. The insoles are decorated with images of iPhone components.
The model is available in sizes from 5 to 12 on the US scale (approximately 35–46 on the European scale) and costs $ 219.90 per pair. You can order The Shoe 1 now, shipping will begin next week.
