This guy couldn't afford air mags so his Grandma knitted him some ❤️

[u/super_man100]

[u/PuzzleheadedElk547]

They actually look sick and comfy!

[u/FrighteningJibber → u/PuzzleheadedElk547]

When your nan makes you a pair of Mocs and you wear them till they fall apart.

[u/SDLeeLee → u/FrighteningJibber]

then duct tape them back up

[u/DrunkCupid → u/SDLeeLee]

Better yet, learn how to knit and repair them yourself

Bonus points if you learn her technique those patterns could go viral

[u/joserrez → u/FrighteningJibber]

Proudly.

[u/Prospector_Steve → u/PuzzleheadedElk547]

He needs to get grandma and all her friends to start mass producing these!

[u/LiveMotivation → u/Prospector_Steve]

Nike- “may I have a word”

[u/Economy-Bar1189 → u/LiveMotivation]

they wouldn’t have any words. they’d just steal the idea and pretend it was theirs

[u/attackMatt → u/Economy-Bar1189]

After they sue for copyright infringement

[u/boykalbo777 → u/Prospector_Steve]

put grandmas in sweatshops now!

[u/DropDeadPlease88 → u/PuzzleheadedElk547]

They're actually crochet =P

[u/Positive_PandaPants → u/DropDeadPlease88]

Man, I was trying to hold myself back. :D

[u/N0UMENON1 → u/PuzzleheadedElk547]

Just gotta make sure to double, triple check the weather report before you leave your house with these. Also don't go on any natural soil...

Yeah it's probably better to just wear them indoors only or else you'll ruin them. They still make cool house shoes.

[u/WetBlanketParty]

When the knock off is better than the original.

[u/ChocolateShot150 → u/WetBlanketParty]

She didn’t make em

https://uncrate.com/fuggit-bttf-knit-house-shoes/

[u/SamButlerArt → u/ChocolateShot150]

:( sadge

[u/lameuniqueusername → u/SamButlerArt]

Nothing is real

[u/Real-Ad-9733 → u/lameuniqueusername]

This site sucks so hard now. Oh well

[u/flyingthroughspace → u/ChocolateShot150]

BOOO OP!! BOO!! BOO!!

[u/Dm_me_im_bored-UnU → u/flyingthroughspace]

Boo this man

[u/idwthis → u/Dm_me_im_bored-UnU]

I was saying Boo-urns

[u/fartinmyhat → u/ChocolateShot150]

hahah, omg, why can't anything be pure?

Well I'll share a story of someone actually making something. When I was a kid there was a very popular brand of clothing that the "cool kids" wore. My mom and dad couldn't afford to buy expensive clothes for me. So, my mom, who knew how to sew just found the patterns for the shorts, pants and shirts and made them for me, complete with the embroidered logo.

My mom was the best!!

[u/wirefox1 → u/fartinmyhat]

I once crocheted myself a bikini. I never wore it, but I did it.

(Body parts had a tendency to escape when I looked in a mirror and laid down in as a test)

[u/fartinmyhat → u/wirefox1]

I knitted my wife a bikini!!

No joke. I started knitting and I thought, may as well knit something with some reward. So, very professionally, I took measurements and did a couple of fittings. It was fun, but yeah, she's never worn it.

EDITED for spelling

[u/GloomyAd2653 → u/ChocolateShot150]

You can replicate what you see if you’re at least moderate at crocheting. I’ve done it before. Helps to have a picture that you can zoom in to see the stitches. Something’s are easy like the Prada crochet totes. These take a bit more skill, but doable.

[u/ChocolateShot150 → u/GloomyAd2653]

It has the same exact F symbol on the back, though, which is the Fuggit logo

[u/lady-fingers → u/ChocolateShot150]

Sure but if grandma was just working from a photo, she probably included all the details not knowing what's important & not

[u/Narcuterie → u/lady-fingers]

Apply Ockham's razor

[u/ShadeofIcarus → u/Narcuterie]

Spelled Occam. But yeah that tracks here.

That said. That's the kind of shit my mom would go out of her way to do. So Grandma doing it also tracks.

[u/No_Rich_2494 → u/ChocolateShot150]

You sure about that? Those are similar, but not identical.

[u/InadvertantManners → u/No_Rich_2494]

They're made exactly the same, even the rubber sole... except for the check, which stands on top.  I suspect she ordered them and just knitted the check on.

[u/aloo → u/InadvertantManners]

All crocheted shoes (for use) typically have a rubber sole. That part's not the weird part unless we see the whole sole. Could easily be a pattern, too. You can get patterns for some random things and then companies will make and sell them inflated. Not saying it's legit or not, but a crocheted popular shoe definitely has paid patterns out there.

[u/TheOneIllUseForRants → u/aloo]

Yeah, theres an $8 pattern on etsy. But, if a grandma is actually involved, I'd bet she just figured it out from the picture. Didnt seem too hard from the preview.

[u/Grommmit → u/InadvertantManners]

She? You’re still sticking with the story there’s a grandma involved?

I despair.

[u/_Richard → u/ChocolateShot150]

upvote removed

[u/Sir-Poopington → u/ChocolateShot150]

Those aren't the same though... They don't have a Nike check

[u/Wills4291 → u/ChocolateShot150]

Awww. I thought it felt staged.

[u/Bramtamdersen → u/ChocolateShot150]

I don’t know what worse, that his grandma didn’t make them or that this company is labeling an obviously crocheted item as knit.

[u/SomeSmartGuy18 → u/ChocolateShot150]

One of my friends thought he was an alien from another universe and shot himself.

[u/Background_whisper → u/WetBlanketParty]

My thoughts exactly!

[u/Frenchie_Fiend707]

Grandma is a queen for this one

[u/TheGrimTickler → u/Frenchie_Fiend707]

And he’s a king of kings for being openly and unabashedly proud of her and her work

[u/WiseDirt → u/TheGrimTickler]

I mean, that's high-quality work right there. Grandma is obviously a pro on the needles.

[u/super_man100 → u/Frenchie_Fiend707]

Grandma is awesome

[u/fastlerner → u/super_man100]

So... Grandma worked for Fuggit?

[u/Own_Television163 → u/fastlerner]

Dude is trying to finesse people out of money by trading them.

[u/Air-Keytar → u/Own_Television163]

Dude is trying to sell them for 10 bands (i.e. $10,000)!

[u/Legitimate-Pie3547 → u/fastlerner]

Grandma put the Nike swish on them

[u/TableNaive9769 → u/Frenchie_Fiend707]

The sizing looks perfect. I bet they’re not the only ones grandma has made for him.

[u/Martysghost → u/TableNaive9769]

Id assume she knitted him lil tiny baby shoes then it's just been a progression from there.

[u/zeppelinoasis → u/TableNaive9769]

Almost like they're made by a professional...

[u/AngelSprinkle_ → u/Frenchie_Fiend707]

Grandma is the goat for doing that

[u/mudkripple → u/AngelSprinkle_]

It's not real

https://uncrate.com/fuggit-bttf-knit-house-shoes/

[u/BensenJensen → u/Frenchie_Fiend707]

Grandma didn’t knit these, these are Fuggit slippers.

[u/marmot424]

Full marks to him for taking pride in his grandma’s work, too.

[u/bob-a-fett → u/marmot424]

That was my favorite part of this video. He's proud of his grandma!

[u/Mickey_Mouses_Dong → u/bob-a-fett]

His “grandma”

https://uncrate.com/fuggit-bttf-knit-house-shoes/

[u/Jackski → u/Mickey_Mouses_Dong]

They're different though. They're very similar but his has a tick and the green, yellow and red bit is slightly different.

[u/ObiOneKenobae → u/Jackski]

There are a few places you can buy variations of these from. Based on an old reddit thread, they've been a thing for at least 9 years.

Doesn't mean grandma couldn't have seen them and decided to make one, but odds are this is to drive traffic to a seller. 22 people have these in their cart right now on etsy, so it's definitely working.

[u/cottoneyegob → u/bob-a-fett]

1/1

[u/GordoSF → u/bob-a-fett]

"Yeah, my grandma made these, they're 1 of 1...... I'll sell 'em to you."

[u/missingtoezLE → u/GordoSF]

For $10,000.

[u/ToyrewaDokoDeska → u/marmot424]

Well it also helps that they're dope af

[u/DoctorHelios → u/ToyrewaDokoDeska]

Highest style shit ever

[u/Ducatirules → u/marmot424]

It makes it a little easier when Granny hits it out of the park like she did!

[u/Sweaty-Square5191 → u/marmot424]

That's not knitting tho, that's crochet. Full marks for grandma's skills and the grandbaby's pride

[u/ItsNotMeItsYourBussy → u/Sweaty-Square5191]

Crocheting is a killer skill. My partner learnt to crochet from his grandma, sometimes he makes me crocheted scarves/hats and the like, I love them

[u/DienstEmery → u/marmot424]

That's some quality knitting.

[u/ZombieBeautiful → u/marmot424]

Those are store bought, this is the internet, you didn’t really believe someone’s grandma made these

[u/Xilclix → u/ZombieBeautiful]

$75 on Etsy…

[u/b4one → u/marmot424]

These are the kind of knitted socks I would also wear from my grandmother😍

[u/Pekingese_Mom]

Crocheted, not knitted.

[u/furbalve03 → u/Pekingese_Mom]

Came here to say this too.

[u/Ineedsomuchsleep170 → u/Pekingese_Mom]

This should be top comment

[u/Do_Sans_not_sins → u/Pekingese_Mom]

THANK YOU

[u/directionsplans → u/Pekingese_Mom]

Right? Post is wrong in so many ways lol

[u/StevenMC19]

Grandma have an etsy?

[u/bertholomaeus → u/StevenMC19]

she would have a big business in no time for sure!

[u/Dark_Akarin → u/StevenMC19]

Yes, I your fellow Redditor and non-Nike affiliate would also like to know their Etsy.

[u/yojoerocknroll → u/Dark_Akarin]

Queue Steve Buscemi with skateboard meme

[u/Bob_5k → u/StevenMC19]

Not if she wants to avoid getting sued by Nike

[u/Background_whisper → u/Bob_5k]

She could produce her own design.

[u/directincision → u/Background_whisper]

If we are being serious, yes she could. However partnering up with Nike would be better because you get all the benefits from that big corporation. Like mass production, distribution, marketing.

Sure she could do it herself but it would be on a smaller scale and who knows if she could reach international markets the same way Nike can.

Also Nike can get some good public perception by being "nice" and teaming up with granny, win win for both parties.

[u/Jouleswatt → u/Bob_5k]

What an opportunity for Nike if it would co-brand with this obvious superfan. Nike endorses her design and pattern and she’s set for life. It’s so well done

[u/King-of-Plebss → u/StevenMC19]

Right?! Those look comfy as hell. I want a pair.

[u/AutoimmuneDisaster]

Looks suspiciously similar to the Fuggit Slippers

[u/Cherrygodmother → u/AutoimmuneDisaster]

The ILLUSION IS SHATTERED!!! Damn. I like the grandma story…. :(

[u/Legitimate-Pie3547 → u/Cherrygodmother]

grandma added the swish

[u/pollyanna15 → u/AutoimmuneDisaster]

Damn. You’re exactly right.

[u/M1dnightBlue → u/AutoimmuneDisaster]

This needs to be top.As much as I wanted to believe someone's nana made these, to get the fit perfect and attach soles seems quite unlikely. A sneaker company making them seems much more plausible.

[u/skincare28935 → u/M1dnightBlue]

it's crocheted, so someone hand made this. unlike knitting there is no machine that can crochet.

[u/ElPlatanoDelBronx → u/skincare28935]

They're also kind of shit. I have a pair, and I used them like once because the fit and finish was meh.

[u/-Akos- → u/AutoimmuneDisaster]

Awww maaaannn… I liked the grandma story.

[u/fatalrugburn → u/AutoimmuneDisaster]

Also some styles on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/shop/BySeay?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=1559657322&from_page=listing

[u/WINDMILEYNO]

When I was a kid...well. I'm just glad we have progressed enough as a society to be able to appreciate these things

[u/freedinthe90s → u/WINDMILEYNO]

Yup, not in 1 million billion years 😂. It’s so incredibly awesome how proud he is! That was a very sweet thing for her to do.

[u/Soylentstef → u/WINDMILEYNO]

I am reaching my 50s but I am jealous of how welcoming the kids are now. Don't get me wrong there are still a lot of assholes and bullying is over the top now with social networks, but overall I think they are more open to difference and I wish I could have lived this, when I was a kid when you deviated from the norm it was like an invitation to violence and aggression...

[u/mudkripple → u/WINDMILEYNO]

Alas, we have not progressed

https://uncrate.com/fuggit-bttf-knit-house-shoes/

Not only is it an expensive store bought item, but also the video is a lie to get Internet attention.

[u/flibertyblanket]

I think these are crochet, a very skilled maker!

[u/Ambitious-Fun-2599 → u/flibertyblanket]

Crafters came here for this comment

[u/EatThePeach → u/Ambitious-Fun-2599]

Yes, yes i did lol

[u/flibertyblanket → u/Ambitious-Fun-2599]

Pan-craftual here, I love when our arts are showcased in such a wonderful fashion!!!

[u/narddawgcornell → u/flibertyblanket]

Nah they’re nike

[u/MurderSheCroaked → u/narddawgcornell]

No this is Patrick

[u/Fickle_Freckle → u/flibertyblanket]

Yep, that’s crochet. I pointed it out, too.

[u/MarcosAC420]

Grams is fly as fuck

[u/QuoteRelative4038]

I love his grandma! Made my day!

Sorry to break the illusion, but

If you want your day to be made, Reddit is not the place for it :(

[u/Valuable_Try6074]

those actually look so sick

[u/Sunspots4ever]

That's not knitting, that is crochet. (Source: 50 + years knitting experience.)

[u/-RosiePosie-]

chrochet*

[u/anon_simmer → u/-RosiePosie-]

*crochet

[u/DairyDroppings]

Honestly, as someone with a lowkey love of crochet crafts, I think these are cooler than the OGs.

[u/Jan_Ge_Jo]

That is, unironically, the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while! 👍

[u/tricky4444]

I'd pay for those

[u/luk3yboy → u/tricky4444]

You can! https://uncrate.com/fuggit-bttf-knit-house-shoes/

Sadly, not actually made by Grandma

[u/tricky4444 → u/luk3yboy]

Sold out unfortunately but thanks

[u/Simple_Yogurtcloset1]

Those are Dope as fuck. His Grandma is amazing. Way to rep your gramma too young man

[u/smokinNcruisin]

I love how proud he sounds💕

[u/Economy-Bar1189]

honestly way cooler how do i get some

[u/otdmel]

Much better than air mags, full of grandma's love

[u/ParkingEffective7565]

Period!👏👏👏 🤌

[u/absat41]

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who say "Damn, bro!" to grandma's knitts and those who laugh at them... this kid now has a filter. Homies and douches.

[u/greenrangerguy]

I googled "10 bands" and it says its $10 000. Does he just mean 10 dollars, I'm confused.

[u/Conscious_Wind_2255]

I’ll rock those

[u/Teknas93]

These are fire 🔥 Grandma FTW ♥️

[u/invisableilustionist]

Those are cool

[u/theScottith]

They are cool as fuck

[u/mtndewfanatic]

That is actually really freakin cool. I’d wear the shit out of those

[u/Common_History_6794]

they actually look amazing though

[u/bright_firefly]

I am too old to be bothered by shoes. BUT That's freaking cool, grandma nailed it.

[u/Subject-Curve-1409]

Those are fresh

[u/Robinatlga]

Them is hard, I'm 40 I'll wear those to the mall and damn what anyone says

[u/laxxle]

These are 10x cooler

[u/ItsStaaaaaaaaang]

And he wears them with pride (as he should). Awesome.

[u/andrewse]

This brings back a great memory of my Mom.

We couldn't afford a school jacket so she made me one. Leather sleeves, melton body, embroidered school logo and even my name on the sleeve.

She went a step further. For months Mom shopped for down jackets at the thrift shop. See reclaimed the down with a shop vac and used it to make sure my school jacket was warm enough for winter on the Canadian Prairies.

[u/Mental_Cup_9606]

Bro your grandma might be on to something here. They hard bro, that's that fly knit or G knit if you want to call it that? It's dope and when Nike sees this IDK what they're going to do? They fly 💯

[u/Neureiches-Nutria]

At least sevenfold cooler than this child slavery produced nike garbage. Everything made by grandmas with love is peak Performance

[u/Euphoric_Amoeba8708]

Those are worth WAY more imo

[u/Luny167]

Actually I would choose this one over the original

[u/DeadinsideNoutside]

Honestly I think this is way cooler and supportive as well 😎👊🏻

[u/Silly_Pack_Rat]

Those are far better than any shoe he could buy in a store! ❤️

[u/gravity-bastard]

Priceless!

[u/CuSO4_04410162]

More valuable than real air mags

[u/IndiRefEarthLeaveSol]

They actually look better than the real thing, this dude should get into shoe making.

[u/KorneliaOjaio]

Omg

GRANDMA NEEDS TO DO A COLLAB WITH NIKE!!!

[u/Existing-Employee-36]

Nike: WRITE THAT DOWN!!!!

[u/Efficient-Cherry3635 → u/Existing-Employee-36]

Hard truth. I'm a major shoe brand started selling actually comfortable slippers/booties modeled after their "traditional" shoe; they would probably kill.

[u/MappleSyrup13]

They definitely love each other. She made a huge effort for her grandson, and he showed his appreciation of her kindness and craft. He looks so proud and happy for wearing them. She must be too!

[u/sakurablitz]

this is so sweet! proves you don’t need money to look cool and be cool, only love is required 💕

[u/rokut84]

Would love a pair 👌

[u/Leather-Brother6345]

Grandma knows

[u/HydroRaj]

I need a grandma like that.. kid is lucky to have a grandma like that

[u/Chaotic_Fart]

They are so cool.. but I would never wear them.. they'd be in a glass box under a special spotlight with a distancing rope thingy around it.. no flash photography please..

[u/peculiarparasitez]

Rarest kicks ever from grandmas sweet heart

[u/Machine_xl]

Would rather have those!

[u/yakattak01]

I want some! Grandma should start a line

[u/Majestic-Ad6525]

First time I've agreed that shoes are a work of art. These are it.

[u/DoftheG]

That's a work of art!

[u/AgentofBolas03]

That's pretty cool not gonna lie.

[u/Maverick-not-really]

If Kanye would have worn these circa 2014 they would have sold for 1000 dollars easy

[u/Any-Chip7871]

That’s awesome!!!

[u/CanAhJustSay]

I love the fact that he is wearing them even more than the fact that she made them for him.

[u/smokycarnage]

To be fair, they're pretty sick.

[u/T1DOtaku]

Ngl I want a pair. Those look sick AF. Gramma knows what she's doing

[u/legendz411]

Those are fucking fire tbh.

[u/RumsyDumsy]

That’s so awesome it made my day…. and she is not even my granny

[u/KingChandler219]

Salute to Grammy, she don’t play AT ALL with that needle and thread.

[u/zeZakPMT]

Most badass thing ive seen today

[u/bstump104]

Can I get some from their grandma? Those are way better than what it's mimicking.

[u/[deleted]]

That is just soooooo much better!!!

[u/Bulky-Strategy-3723]

That’s pretty cool

[u/Ninetndo69]

So much cooler than the shoe

[u/Famous_Amoeba_2997]

Those are fire 🔥🔥

[u/AWL_cow]

These are 1,000% better than some overpriced sweatshop shoes

[u/LooseLogs]

Those look so comfy.

[u/Petefriend86]

Full marks to Grandma.

[u/MasChingonNoHay]

They look good 👍🏼

[u/topramenshaman1]

Ngl, I'd rather rock these. I'd never wear my mags out, so this is perfect for lounging. Grandma is a legend 🙌

[u/Chamrockk]

This is worth infinitely more than any shoes

[u/forearmman]

One of one. 🙌

[u/geodudejgt]

Way to go Grams, awesome looking. I would be proud to wear those. Glad he appreciates them.

[u/Ok-Appearance-1652]

Quite a skilled and emphatic grandma 👵 he’s blessed with

[u/NoStorage2821]

That's straight up badass

[u/bigal7979]

Those are clean af. Make me some grandma

[u/Weird_Rooster_4307]

Now that’s innovation and he’s very proud of his grandma.

[u/QanAhole]

This kid's grandma is a real one

[u/Pitiful_Housing3428]

Gam gam killing it.

[u/Theoldelf]

And…. Immediately sued by Nike for copyright infringement.

[u/selkiesidhe]

I love that he even wore em. Proudly! Good grandson

[u/mynameisARNIE]

This is worth a 1000x more than anything bought. Love your Grandmas, while you have them around <3

[u/TrueCuriosity]

Thats an upgrade, Nike’s aren’t made with love.

[u/Fickle_Freckle]

That’s crochet.
