On the heels of other digital symbols turned physical fashion, designer Josewong has crafted a sneaker that walks straight out of your emoji. Known for his playful takes on fashion, Wong has been recreating some of Apple’s wearable-looking emojis—from billed caps to cozy socks—under his brand ABCD. This time, he’s taken on the Running Shoe emoji.

The footwear, appropriately named the "Shoe 1," features a full-grain nubuck and mesh upper that’s all about mixing comfort with a bit of emoji flair. The design includes lightweight EVA foam cushioning in the midsole and heel, along with reflective detailing for that extra pop. The cushioning itself combines a lightweight foam with a durable polyurethane rim, providing comfort throughout the day. The outsole is made with 5% recycled rubber, keeping an eye on sustainability while staying durable.

The packaging, too, is part of the experience. The oversized sneakers come in a shoebox that’s a nod to Apple’s minimalist product packaging. As a cheeky detail, the insoles make reference to the A(BCD)5 chip.

 

 

The Shoe 1, priced at $219.90, comes in sizes ranging from 5 to 12. You can now step right into the virtual world, one emoji at a time.
