If you've ever looked at Apple's running shoe emoji and thought that it was a model you'd like to wear in real life (and, for some reason had an aversion to the classic 574 from New Balance), your day has finally come. Designer Josewong has brought the emoji to life with his simply-named Shoe 1, a model that takes the emoji's visual cues and applies them to a tangible product.

The Shoe 1 features a full-grain nubuck and mesh upper with an extra-puffy tongue and equally bulbous heel collar. There's even a 3D-printed re-creation of Apple's A5 processor hidden in the soles to "power," in a sense that's more symbolic than literal, of course, your walk or run. To accompany the shoes, Josewong has also created a suede hat and a pair of socks that match their respective emojis to a T, and cooked up a "compressed" long-sleeve T-shirt that's packaged inside a pleading face emoji tin. And yes, that's a full-on Steve Jobs wax figure in the image above.


If you're looking to score a pair, the shoes are available on the Josewong webstore now, shipping approximately one week after purchase and priced at $219.90 USD. The socks, hat and tee are also available, with prices ranging from $29.90 USD to $59.90 USD.
