These Apple Branded Shoes are Straight Out of the 90s

— March 11, 2013 — Fashion
When it comes to Apple-branded products, there's always going to be a market for them. From hipsters to nerds, if it's got an Apple logo on it, someone will buy it, use it and love it.

There's probably no company out there that brands itself and establishes loyalty amongst customers like Apple. With that said, these Apple branded sneakers are straight out of the 90s, which some might consider Apple's dark ages. This was a time when there was no iPod, no iPad, no iPhone, and the Mac platform had but a fraction of the market share it does now. It was also a time of white leather, holy shoe design and a multi-colored Apple logo.

The Apple branded shoes aren't commercially available for the public to buy, which means that we can look forward to seeing a pair show up on eBay before someone buys it for the price they could buy a dozen other pairs of shoes for.
