The auction company stated in the item on its website that the cork and jute footbed “retains the impression of Steve Jobs’ feet, which had been sculpted after years of use.”
The sandals were anticipated to sell for $60,000, but Julien’s said that the final sale price with an accompanying NFT was $218,750. No buyer’s name was provided.
