Once upon a time, Apple made more than every single electronic device you've ever owned. From the mid-1980s through the early 1990s, the company produced a whole lot of branded clothing: Think oversized sweaters, hats and visors boasting the famous logo, kids T-shirts and pairs of white sneakers with a rainbow-colored apple that were only given to employees... until now. 

Heritage Auction has got its hands on one pair of the cool kicks and it is planning on listing it on eBay at a starting price of $15,000 on June 11. The Auction House claims that, although the value of the shoes is closer to $30,000, they're really only worth "what someone will pay for them." And, considering that a private vendor sold a leather jacket that Steve Jobs wore for $22,000 just last year, we are fairly confident that someone out there will end up paying more than the listing price to be the product's new owner.

Curious about the above mentioned '90s Apple collection? Check out this Imgur post from 2011 and browse through the rare 1986-1987 catalog of products. Fair warning: You could have once entertained your kid with Apple-branded toy truck ("The truck the future comes in") for a mere $29. How times have changed.
