Ever Wish the Apple Running Shoe Emoji Was An IRL Shoe? It Is Now.

by

As a seasoned gamer and sneaker enthusiast with an affinity for all things tech-related, I must admit that the Shoe 1 by Josewong has piqued my interest in ways I never thought possible. The design is a delightful blend of two worlds I hold dear – gaming and fashion – and it’s like someone read my secret wishlist!

If you’ve ever wished Apple‘s running shoe emoji could be a real pair of shoes instead of just an image, and found yourself not liking the traditional New Balance 574, your lucky day has arrived! Designer Josewong has made the emoji a reality with his straightforwardly named Shoe 1. This model takes the visual hints from the emoji and transforms them into a physical product you can wear on your feet.

This shoe model boasts a premium nubuck and mesh upper, with an exceptionally plush tongue and similarly voluminous heel collar. Remarkably, a 3D-printed imitation of Apple’s A5 processor is secreted within the soles, symbolizing a boost to your stroll or jog, albeit metaphorically rather than literally. To complement the shoes, Josewong has designed a matching suede hat, socks, and a compressed long-sleeve T-shirt, all in line with their corresponding emojis. Incidentally, you’ll spot a lifelike Steve Jobs figurine in the accompanying image.
