Today was a big day for Apple, especially for its CEO Tim Cook. Apart from the new tablets, another outstanding product was shown at the Let Loose event: the custom Nike Air Max '86 called "Made on iPad."
These custom sneakers are 1-of-1, made specifically by Apple and Nike's collaboration for this special event, and the only one in the world to wear it was Cook.
Sadly, these shoes will not be sold retail and were made just for Cook to flex more with the iPads introduced today.
Apple CEO Tim Cook Wore Custom 1-of-1 Nike Air Max 86s
Apple's Let Loose event is now over, but it left a lasting impression for its new devices, as for the special custom sneakers worn by the CEO, Tim Cook, sporting a Nike Air Max 86 'Made on iPad' design.
Hypebeast shared that this custom sneaker is one of one. The pair is the only sneakers to be seen by the public and made for this event only.
The sneaker pair is a typical white Air Max 86, but it features a colorful burst on the iconic Nike Swoosh logo and rainbow-esque dots along the edges.
Moreover, while the sneaker tongue features the classic Nike Air Max 86 design, it also portrays the 'Made on iPad' writing inspired by the Apple Pencil.
Nike Air Max 86 'Made on iPad'—What's Special?
While it remains unknown why Apple and Nike collaborated on this subtly featured pair, the Air Max 86 Made on iPad sneakers caught massive attention worldwide.
It is unknown if the Nike team used the new iPad and Apple Pencil to design this as featured on its doodled product shot, especially as its name is literally "Made on iPad."
That being said, this is the only pair made by Apple and Nike, special for the Let Loose's iPad showcase, and would not be sold on retail.
Apple and Nike's Massive Collaborations
Apple and Nike are no strangers to collaborations. Both companies have delivered significant tech and lifestyle developments for consumers, offering the best of what each has to offer.
The Nike+ tech lifestyle devices were among the first collaborations between both companies. They center on the early health trackers that bring data directly to iPhones.
Both also went through tough times when they had to settle a class action lawsuit for the same Nike+ Fuelbands amounting to as much as $2.4 million.
That said, the collaborations did not stop there. Users can now purchase dedicated Nike Apple Watch bands and watch faces.
Moreover, both companies have also considered another Apple Watch collaboration for new bands, particularly given Apple's renowned move towards FineWoven straps, which officially replaced leather for the wearable.
Now, a new collaboration was revealed to the world, one that was special only to the Apple CEO during Let Loose, with the dedicated iPad event featuring the custom-made Nike Air Max 86 'Made on iPad' subtly worn by Tim Cook.
