Steve Jobs once said that to be successful in business you had to be like the Beatles — and it seems that extends to the band’s footwear in the late 60s.⁠ ⁠ A pair of “well used” Birkenstocks that belonged to the Apple co-founder in the 1970s and 80s and were saved by his former house manager have sold at auction for almost $220,000.⁠ ⁠ “The cork and jute footbed retains the imprint of Steve Jobs’s feet, which had been shaped after years of use,” Julien’s Auctions, in Beverly Hills, said. The shoes set a record for the highest price paid for a pair of sandals.⁠ ⁠ The sandals were expected to sell for $60,000, but the final price, with an accompanying non-fungible token (NFT) was $218,750, Julien’s said. The identity of the buyer was not disclosed.⁠ ⁠ 🔗 Click the link in our bio to read the full story⁠ ⁠ #apple #stevejobs #birkenstocks
