Caviar unveils iPhone 4-inspired custom 12 Pro, limited edition of Steve Jobs’ favorite sneakers
Steve Jobs oversaw the design of some of the most iconic devices in smartphone history, including the iPhone 4, which some consider to be Apple’s best work. The man himself was famous for his casual dressing style, always taking the stage wearing his iconic black turtleneck, jeans and sneakers.

Caviar, known for its premium customizations of various gadgets, celebrates this history with the iPhone 12 Pro Jobs 4 (also available is an iPhone 12 Pro Max version). The design is inspired by the iPhone 4 but features all the cutting edge tech of the 12-series.
The Apple logo on the back houses a small piece of Jobs’ turtleneck. In the case of the Gold edition, that Apple is made out of 18 karat gold and its mounted on the back crafted out of hardened, blackened titanium. This version starts at just under $9,000.

If you haven’t heard of them, New Balance sneakers were the Steve Jobs’ favorites. Legend has it that the particular design Jobs wore was based on a sketch that he sent to Jim Davis, the chairman of New Balance.
