When it comes to fashion, Steve Jobs, the late founder of Apple, is best known for his laid-back uniform of a black turtleneck, jeans and dad sneakers. But the tech giant also had something in common with today's supermodels and TikTok influencers: a love of Birkenstocks.
On Sunday, an undisclosed buyer purchased the well-worn pair of brown suede, two-strap sandals that Jobs wore in the '70s and '80s for over $218,000 - the highest price ever paid for a pair of sandals at auction, according to the auction house Julien's.
