How a teenager with cerebral palsy inspired these new shoes from Nike

This past week, Nike came out with the Go Flyease, the brand's first-ever hands-free shoe. There’s a special history behind it and it all started with one man struggling with cerebral palsy.

This would be perfect for someone like me I don’t have cerebral palsy but I have epilepsy and this will be easy because bending down for too long can trigger a seizure in me

[@tristanstrong2118]

Sad thing is that only a limited amount of people will get the shoes and it will probably go to most hype beasts.

No one wants them 😂

My son is special needs as well and my husband has been buying these awesome shoes for our boy. 🤩

I have cerebral palsy. These are a godsend. Have to get a pair.

[@boredmango2962]

Ay man I'm in the same boat I can do everything else except my shoes and when I can do that as well it's a whole new world of freedom to have the ability to just decide “ oh I feel like taking a walk around the neighbourhood” and going with no one else will be crazy even if I get these shoes I won't stop trying to put regular shoes on of course but if I wanna go out by myself.... They are there for me
Anyway thank you for taking the time to read this and I wish you and your family nothing but the best in these tough times remember to never give up on your dreams and reach for the stars no matter what people tells you..... and that goes for everyone not just disabed people.... remember that. All the best-Skyler

My daughter has it. Im seeing if they'll be good for her

[@boredmango2962]

@@feenominalfee I’m sure they will be…. Well it depends on age and how capable she is of course but I’m sure it’ll work out and besides as with everything disabled or not practice makes perfect being disabled and in the exact same position I understand how hard things can be for the child….and for the parents there will be hardships and good times but you’ll make it work…..together I am certain that your daughter will grow into an incredible woman and do great things the sky is the limit dream big because if you try your best and work hard anything is possible no matter what people say it’s important she remembers that. I wish you both nothing but the best stay safe and and have a great day and life❤️
