Steve Jobs’ clothing was characterized by three key elements: Levi’s jeans, his black T-shirt, and, of course, the New Balance 992. However, these shoes were not the only ones worn by the Apple founder. Jobs also used flip flops Birkenstock brand for everyday use and a couple of them currently up for auction.
Birkenstocks worn by Steve Jobs among others are part of the Icons and Idols: Rock N Roll collection from Julien’s Auctions, and They are up for auction with a starting price of $15,000., though after two bids the offer is already going for $22,000 and is estimated to go up to $80,000. This is specifically the pair worn by the founder of Apple between the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the pattern wear caused by Jobs after using it.
Steve Jobs, besides (and according to the bookie) he wore the same pair during the days he started founding Apple in his garage at homeand they were a very important element of their clothing, Margot Fraser, who is responsible for the brand’s expansion in the United States, told Vogue.
“Sandals were part of her simple side. They were his uniform. The good thing about uniforms is that you don’t have to worry about what to wear in the morning. I would never make or buy anything just to stand out from the crowd. I was just convinced of the thoughtfulness and practicality of the design and ease of use. And in Birkenstock he didn’t feel like a businessman, so he had the freedom to think creatively.”
