Steve Jobs’ old Birkenstocks sell for nearly $220,000

Steve Jobs left an indelible footprint on the technology industry. Now, a different kind of legacy – in the form of a “well-used” pair of Birkenstocks that still retain his feet’s imprints – has fetched a record-breaking price at an auction.

A suede pair of the beloved German sandals, worn by Steve Jobs in the 1970s and 1980s, sold this week for nearly $220,000, the highest price ever paid for a pair of sandals, according to an auction house.

“The cork and jute footbed retains the imprint of Steve Jobs’ feet, which had been shaped after years of use,” Julien’s Auctions said in the listing on its website.

The late Jobs wore the Birkenstock Arizona sandals while pacing the floors of the California house where he and Steve Wozniak co-founded Apple in 1976. The sandals, which retail today for $125, were expected to sell for $60,000. Sold with an accompanying NFT to an unnamed buyer, the final sale price came to $218,750, Julien’s said.
