The vintage have a unique design, featuring a clean white upper with the iconic rainbow Apple logo on the tongue and side. Another cool feature is the faux “Air” cushioning window in the heel, making of classic sports shoes from that time. These sneakers have become true collector’s items because of their distinct and nostalgic charm, adding to their appeal and value.
