Super Limited Edition! The “Apple x Nike” co-branding has been previewed by Tim “The Old Shoe Dog” Cook…
The night before last, Apple’s new conference you fruit fans see it? Just really did not expect, Cook actually also on the foot of a pair of 1 of 1 Nike custom co-branding, this time, the identity of the shoe head completely can not hide ah!
At the launch event, Cook said, “This is a milestone for the iPad since it was first introduced” (what launch event wouldn’t be a synonym for that?).
But you hipsters should be more concerned about these little white shoes on Cook’s feet than the new iPad.
And just the latest update from Apple’s official account confirms the identity of the shoes, a special version designed by Nike designers for Cook via the new iPad Pro and Apple Pencil.
Shoes in kind, as shown in the picture above, is the designer brother in the latest iPad Pro “doodle” out of the design is also basically in the white shoes to restore Apple’s classic rainbow elements.
The tongue of the shoe is also handwritten font special labeling “made on iPad” words, I have to say that Nike designers will still be a whole job ah ……
Although the design may seem a bit scribbly and abstract, it should come as no surprise to you that it’s a joint effort between Apple and Nike.
It’s not only because Apple and Nike have had a long relationship, but also because of Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Previously we have inventoried the hidden trend attributes of all the technology bigwigs, in the understanding of the older brother Cook, private is a die-hard fan of hooks. (* Of course, Zegna Zegna this high-end goods usually also whole)
However, recently it is almost locked up with Nike, a while ago and Zheng Kai teamed up to hit the Bund in Shanghai, Cook’s feet is a pair of Nike’s affordable shoe type Killshots 2.
Last year’s Apple conference wore this pair of shoes, and this year, if not for Nike’s special design of personalized models, it might still be this pair of shoes.
A pair of shoes directly wear a whole year, can really see is a true love~.
Well, let’s just say, it’s a stark contrast to the perennial New Balance pops on the feet of founder Steve Jobs.
At the same time, there is Musk nothing to step on play Yeezy, AJ, and Huang Jen-Hsun on the upper body of the leather jacket is also the same reason ……
All in all, the technology big brother in the sports brand this piece of each has its own good right!
Today we take this opportunity to also organize a wave of Cook’s shoe wardrobe to see what Nike the current Apple CEO, in private, will wear!
1, Nike Roshe Run black and white
In 2014, when the Apple Store opened, Cook’s oldest brother had already harnessed the then quite hot god shoes Roshe Run in advance.
However, at present, this color scheme only requires 3xx to get started, which is considered to be a proper affordable good shoes echelon…
2, Nike Roshe Run Darth Vader
At Re/code 2015, Cook also opted for an all-black version of the Roshe Run, but it looks like it’s a lot harder to get your hands on now that it’s been almost 10 years…
3, Nike Epic React Flyknit
After the winds of Roshe Run faded away, Tim Cook opted for a new favorite during the 2018 Apple keynote, topping off a pair of pure white Nike Epic React Flyknit.
Currently on the secondary market, the price has come to the level of $250 (roughly Rs. 1,809) due to the fact that it is also quite old.
4, Nike Epic Phantom React Flyknit
In 2019, an Apple keynote, Cook Cook on foot again this pair of Nike Epic Phantom React Flyknit black and white colorway.
However, compared to the earliest pure white colorway, this classic black and white colorway is currently available for only 8xx, which is quite everyday in comparison.
And, with a follow-up tweet from Cook dedicated to the shoes, you can see how much love there is~
5, Nike Air Force 1 Darth Vader
2023 Apple horror flash mob, Cook is on the feet of a pair of Kanye all love to wear a pair of pure black AF1, and before the casual style immediately make a distinction, the overall all-black look is also quite handsome ~ ~
As for the price, as Nike best-selling king, the current price is stable at 6xx level.
6, Nike Air Force 1 “Jackie Robinson”
On the whole, the most special shoes that Cook has put on his feet is the Nike Air Force 1 “Jackie Robinson” commemorative model that he put on his feet at the WWDC 23 conference last year.
However, due to the lack of release in the country, this pair of shoes is currently only available on foreign platforms, with a price tag of roughly $300 (about Rs. 2,171).
7, Nike Killshots 2
Finally, naturally, Cook’s recent new favorite – Nike Killshots 2 white and black color, overall, slender shoes + white and black color + raw rubber thin bottom configuration, very Nike version of Samba flavor.
The current price is also considered to be very pro-people, only 3xx to get your hands on it~.
Through Cook’s shoe closet, it’s easy to see that the Apple CEO’s tastes are quite vertical, basically choosing basic and technological casual running shoes, which is also quite in line with Apple’s own philosophy.
At the same time, Cook’s enthusiasm for individual sneaker styles can be seen in distinct phases, such as the early Roshe Run, then the React Flyknit, and the new favorite Air Force 1, which is basically Cook’s number one choice at one time.
And, with Cook’s choice of styles, most of which are affordable basics (except for the latest iPad personalization picture), it’s a pretty approachable presence.
So what do you guys think, what’s Cook’s taste in sneakers?
