I once had a twinkle of nostalgia for the 90's. I graduated from HS and University, started my chosen career. I was broke and idealistic about the world and my place in it. My parents and grandparents were still alive. I had hope for the future and things seemed bright. Long before the weight of age and experience began to slow me down, including the health issues that go with it.
*POOF* All that evaporated the moment I saw these. Cringe was the perfect word.

I wonder how many ex Apple employees who was given a pair will now be searching lofts, basements and other storage areas.
Apple copying Nike is OK apparently. But when someone copies Apple... it's scorched earth.
Ridiculous.

Those sneakers would go perfect with this Apple jacket 
same era too I believe, the 90's

Not really. Whoever buys these will be so wealthy that they might as well live in another universe. $50k to them would be like $10 to an average person... ie, cheaper than a brand new pair of New Balance dad sneakers. They'd step over a $100 bill like I'd step over a nickel. The word "bargain" doesn't even begin to describe it; it's beyond an afterthought.
Look pretty much like these which are very popular nowadays. My 10 year old son has them and I see them on many teens in conjunction with quite wide and big jeans.
I do think the Apple ones look pretty good, though.

With these shoes, Safari might not be snappier, but my dress sense certainly will be.
Those stuff were so pretty ! Now I’m starting to wonder if Apple should sell merch again.
$50,000! I wish my employer was as well known as Apple. I have tons of branded shirts, hats, etc. that are employee-only "exclusives."
I’d wear them if they came in Space Gray.
I'm probably shure that pair of ISneakers don't have Apple Care anymore 🤣
The bezels on that window are too big.
At least there's not a notch ... we've regressed apparently.

I feels like it to you and me, but if you have billions then $50k is the equivalent to a very cheap lunch for the average person.
