Apple’s Running Shoe Emoji Transformed into Real-Life Sneakers

Designer Jose Wong brings the iconic emoji to life with a $219.90 sneaker release featuring premium materials and playful Apple-inspired details.

Jose Wong has recreated Apple’s running shoe emoji as a wearable sneaker named Shoe 1, now available through his ABCD brand.
The Shoe 1 features a full-grain nubuck and mesh upper, lightweight EVA foam cushioning, and a polyurethane rim for comfort and support.
The outsole incorporates 5% recycled rubber, while the insoles include a printed design referencing Apple’s A5 processor as a playful nod to the tech giant.
The sneakers are packaged in Apple-inspired minimalist boxes and ship approximately one week after purchase, with US sizes ranging from 5 to 12.
Wong has also released matching accessories, including a suede hat, socks, and a T-shirt, all inspired by other Apple emojis.
