Backstory Of The Sandals
According to Julien, Jobs inherited these sandals from his house tender, Mark Sheff, in the 1970s.
Mark Sheff, on the other hand, developed a habit of sorting and keeping Job’s belongings when he threw them away, because Job only kept a few belongings.
Furthermore, the origins of these historic sandals can be traced back to the early days of Apple. According to the Auction houses, back in 1976, during the formation of Apple, which began in a garage, Jobs and Co-founder of Apple, Steve Wozniak would wear these same sandals while working.
Chrisann Brennan, Job’s ex-partner, told Vogue, the fashion magazine, that these sandals had become part of Jobs’ uniform, and he wore them whenever he worked. She went on to say that the sandals represented his preference for simplicity and practicality over flamboyance.
This sale of Jobs sandals adds to the growing list of NFT collections of top personnel across the country.
