Apple partnered with Adidas to design a pair of stylish white sneakers that featured the word Apple and also a rainbow coloured Apple logo in the early 1990s. According to the reports, the shoes never arrived at the market and it is believed that the prototypes were sold to Apple employees. As far as it is believed, only two pairs exist. One was unearthed in 2016 at a garage sale in Palo Alto, California, and was later sold at an auction. The other pair will be on the auction block next month.

The image was shared on Twitter by a user asking the online audience if they see a grey or green mint shoe. The users perched on the post scolding people who agreed that the shoe was grey and green mint questioning their visual capacity. They said that the shoe was a pink-and-white colour. “on my screen that is bright, I see the photo in a bigger size, it's actually white and pink”, commented one user. “I saw a grey and mint, looked at it again just now and as I stared at it, it slowly transitioned to pink and white”, wrote another user. An aggravated user asked how people were seeing pink, the shoe was clearly green in colour.
