It’s a given that the seven-foot-tall stars in the NBA have Nike shoes that are huge. None of them, however, compare to the largest shoe that Nike ever made.
Early this month, Nike PR Director Heidi Burgett tweeted out a couple of pics of the shoe, which she stated belonged to an elephant. Nike made the shoe, which has both buckles and laces, as a corrective shoe for an elephant that had one short leg. There was a pink version of the iconic Nike ‘swoosh’ on the side of the shoe, but the elephant quite obviously wore the shoe out:
Biggest shoe Nike ever made was for an elephant that had 1 leg shorter than the others. Nike fitted him w/ lifts: http://t.co/b9hD2hEa7u
