Nike Re-Releasing Shoe That Looks Like An iPhone Case
The hole-riddled iPhone 5C case that generated so much attention last year will be reincarnated in the form of a Nike shoe by none other than Apple designer Marc Newson.
Similarities between Nike's Zvezdochka, which first debuted in 2004, and Apple's iPhone 5C case are unmistakable. However, the two products are not officially related.
Named after the Russian dog that was launched into space aboard Sputnik 10 back in the 1960s, the Zvezdochka was originally designed by Newson as a modular shoe (consisting of four parts) that was inspired by the Russian Space Agency and his vision for "a multi-purpose shoe for cosmonauts."
In light of Newson's recent decision to join Apple's design team, working alongside friend and company design chief Jony Ive, the resemblance between the Zvezdochka and the iPhone 5C case is even more striking. However, Nike's site does not mention the apparent similarities.
Despite the fact that the original Zvezdochka predates the iPhone 5C case by almost a decade (and the first Apple iPhone by three years), its futuristic design proves just how far ahead of its time the shoe really was.
To celebrate the Zvezdochka's 10th anniversary, Nike is re-releasing the shoe as a limited-edition product beginning Dec. 29, through its NikeLab website.
