Oh no. Too much time people. He he.
I know I'll be ordering mine!
God, that's expensive. Can you not buy 501s for under $50? Geez.
For Pete's sake, Steve, you're rich! Buy a belt!
Ha, Ha! I was shocked as I thought this would be the iPod waerable boring stuff!
What about the underwear-ables?
Oh boy, right now, I am wearing a black mock turtleneck, jeans, and black shoes. I'm one step (sneakers) away from being Stevified...
Lol @ the footnote:
"Any resemblance to a cartoon owning character is purely coincidental."
You would think he could afford a belt
Well, you would think most computer industry moguls could learn to look decently.
Look at the biggest of them all, Mr. Gates.
When Steve Jobs worked at Atari, the company was working on creating the arcade game Breakout, which required 80 Integrated Circuits (ICs). The less ICs there were, the cheaper the games would be to produce, so Nolan Bushnell (Atari's president) offered $100 for every IC that could be knocked out of the design. Jobs brought Woz the challenge, and over four days and nights at Atari they put together a design that only required 30 ICs. Bushnell gave Jobs his $5000 bonus, which Jobs "split" with Wozniak by telling him it was a $700 bonus, giving him "half," or $350. Woz was delighted, but years later found out the truth. And cried.
This little story really does show the difference between the two founders: Wozniak, the classic hacker, facing challenges and improving a project so that people like himself could enjoy it, and Jobs, the goat f-cker. As life has gone on to prove, it's the goat f-cker that ends up running the company. Or, as might be said more poetically, In the valley of the goats, the Goat F-cker is king. Jobs would run the company for a good number of years before being shoved aside, and then return in a triumph when the company sunk to new lows in the 1990s.
I've never paid over $60 for Levis -- that's just ridiculous. For some reason, I think the shoes are a bit overpriced as well.
Oh, and do you really need a belt if your pants fit you to begin with?
Fishes,
narco.
A new pair of New Balance 991 sneakers will run you around $120-$130 at the retail price. I'm a runner and am currently on my fifth pair of these shoes in three years' time. The price has never gotten any better at the handful of stores in my area that carry these shoes.
Fortunately, I won a brand new pair on eBay this last go-around for $60 (shipping included). That made me happy.
er.. count me out ide rather buy a 30 gb ipod lol :D
I hate wearing a belt. Go Steve.
The Levi's are PREMIUM. Yes, Levi's makes designer 501's. They are made with high quality denim and cost a lot more. $130 for premium denim is not ridiculous. Also, that is full retail. I know I never pay full retail for anything, like the $180 jeans I bought for $60 at the Saks outlet last week. Screw the name on the jeans, they are ridiculously comfy.
Also, I paid $90 for those 991's 4 years ago as a freshman on college and they still treat me well today. They are widely regarded as some of the most comfortable running shoes ever made. Worth the $$$.
I agree though, he does need a belt.
@ #9: the jeans are definitely overpriced, but the shoes are about right. i believe i got my pair of 991's (which is a great running shoe btw) for about $120.
#8 dont be so Jealous... its all good cheer up
Get a shot of his a$$ for me please. He has nice junk in his trunk with the levis on.
YEAH baby!
Are those bugle boys jean he is wearing?
narco:
Yes. ALWAYS wear a belt. And they should match your shoes.
Really, who said to look like Steve you have to buy the same $190 black t-shirt? I don't know about you but I have this black t-shirt I got at H&M for about $5 and looks pretty good. Add some $30 on-sale jeans, any sneakers, and you've got yourself the Steve Jobs budget look.
Oh, a nice way to get some money with those amazon referals too, especially with the expensivo items.
hi, i'm a troll. spam me please: kamilmytnik@gmail.com
I think he should be slapped with a 2Gb Nano for dressing the way he does.
In what land are Levi 501's $138????
#15 - hell naw ho, you know they polo...
anyone who pays 190$ for a tshirt deserves to lose the money. $20 for 5 at champs...
Has anyone ever questioned his sexual preference. Steve gives his efforts away by trying dress carelessly like what a "man" supposed to do.
the levi's are PREMIUM? they look like ass. what, do they use specially pampered cotton plants for these? anyone paying that much for a pair of jeans originally created as work pants is a moron. same mentality of people buying "hummer" suvs. here, have a watered-down version of a product to create the illusion of utilitarianism.
also jobs looks hella gay. steve handjobs...?
My New Balance 975's cost me $80. And they are a hell of a lot better than those shoes.
Those New Balance 991's are the best shoes ever. THEY ARE MADE IN THE USA. Thats why they are so expensive. Most comftorable shoes I have ever owned. Great that they are made in USA.
I have to admit, Jobs looks bad. Fancy clothes can't hide his less than handsome features.
You guys should use my awesome clothing:
Shirt: Some t-shirt from bustedtees.com - 18 bucks
Pants: Old navy blue jeans - 10 bucks
Shoes: Vans on sale - 30 bucks
My combination will save you -- get this -- 400 bucks. And it looks better.
#25- It's an insult to gay men for you to wonder if Jobs might be playing for our team. Very few gay men dress as bad as he does. Just because a mock turtleneck shirt costs $190 DOES NOT mean that anyone, anywhere should wear one after 1988.
You guys are getting it all wrong, the reason those clothes are so expensive is because they were all made for him personally by a bunch of 8 year-old kids working in sweat shops in Vietnam. That's why all his clothes are so expensive.
Ahh... That would explain why he thinks people'll pay $99 for a $25 leather case: He pays $138 for a $32 pair of 501's!
When ever Steve Jobs makes one of these blow-up Apple Announcements, he always looks like he rolled out of bed, and put on the first clean shirt he could find. Jesus, he's a CEO of a Major corporation, he could make more of an effort to not look like "your mom dressed you".
If Madonna can run around with the body of a 20 year old, because of her personal trainer. Then Jobs could at lease get a stylist and/or a fashion consultant, it not like he doesn't have the money.
Believe Steve's clothing choices have been coordinated quite tastefully, except for athletic sneakers. I'd substitute a deck shoe, a sturdy leather slip-on loafer, or perhaps hiking boots.
The mock t-neck is so much better than the grubby "hoodies" and sweat shirts, which men age 40 and under all wear these days.
Absence of a belt is perfectly acceptable. I too hate belts, never wear them with jeans, and keep a few only for dress trousers and suits. Blue jeans deliberately left unbelted keeps outfit casual. He pulls look off here and it works!
I want to see him wearing a shirt from http://www.animalcaptain.com ! Hahaha
